PART 3 Spring water

Bottling of spring water and exploitation of spring water springs

10.—(1) No person shall cause any water to be bottled in a bottle marked or labelled with the description “spring water” unless that water–

(b) meets the requirements of Schedule 2; and

(c) meets the requirements of Schedule 4.

(2) No person shall cause any water which has been treated with ozone-enriched air to be bottled in a bottle marked or labelled spring water, unless that treatment is an authorised ozone-enriched air oxidation technique.

(3) Where it is found during exploitation that spring water is polluted and that bottling of the water would contravene paragraph 6, 7 or 8 of Schedule 4 no person shall exploit the spring from which the water is extracted until the cause of the pollution is eradicated and the bottling of the water would comply with those paragraphs.
