Plain language guide to UK bottled water regulations
The Plain Language Guide to the UK Bottled Water Regulations has been launched by specialist drinks consultancy Zenith International. The guide takes the form of a loose leaf binder which will be a continually updated "one-stop shop" reference to the content, interpretation and evolution of the UK Bottled Water Regulations. Customers sign up for an initial two years.
The starting point of the guide is to help with understanding and implementing The Natural Mineral Water, Spring Water and Bottled Drinking Water Regulations which were published on 30th June 1999.
"Anybody who goes through the regulations will find that they are difficult to interpret because they refer to three separate EU Directives," commented Zenith Director Duncan Finlayson. "Moreover the new regulations are just the beginning. Another change is due because of a new Drinking Water Directive. Then the Ministry of Agriculture is expected to produce official guidelines. A further draft Commission Directive is in negotiation and more will follow. The regulations will be adapted to include every one of these initiatives."
The Plain Language Guide is written and updated by Duncan Finlayson, who has been advising bottled water producers and trade associations on these topics since 1993. He was Editor of the British Soft Drinks Association Guide to Good Bottled Water Standards.
There are three parts: a First Issue Folder, a News Bulletin Service and Updates. The Guide is priced at £249 which includes the First Issue Folder. This price will be reduced to £199 for early orders. Annual subscription to the News Bulletin Service will cost an additional £50 per year and Updates will be made available when relevant at £97.50 each.
