Packaged Drinking Water Testing (IS 14543) — Quality You Can Prove Packaged drinking water is a high-trust product. One adverse microbial or chemical result can trigger customer complaints, regulatory action, and brand damage. A structured testing program helps you detect risks early, maintain consistency across batches, and keep audit documentation ready. At Dextrose Technologies Pvt Ltd (Bengaluru), we support packaged drinking water manufacturers with end-to-end quality testing aligned to IS 14543 requirements (as applicable), covering physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters in a clear, audit-friendly format. Why routine packaged water testing matters - Packaged water quality can vary due to: - Source water fluctuations (seasonal load, TDS shifts, microbial spikes) - Filtration/RO performance drift - UV/ozone dosing inconsistencies - Storage and packaging contamination risks - Transport and handling conditions - Testing validates your process controls and provides documented proof of quality for internal QA and external inspections. - Testing as per IS 14543 (requirements-based) We can plan your test scope based on: - IS 14543 expectations for packaged drinking water (parameter coverage and limits as applicable) - Your product type and capacity - Your internal QA frequency (batch-wise / weekly / monthly) - Any customer or tender requirements If you have a specific compliance checklist or auditor format, share it—we will align the report structure accordingly. What we test: Microbiology + Chemical + Physical (single, consolidated plan) 1) Microbiology panel (common packaged drinking water risks) A robust microbiology panel helps catch contamination early and protect consumers. Typical coverage includes: - Escherichia coli (E. coli) - Total coliforms - Faecal streptococci - Staphylococcus aureus - Sulphite-reducing anaerobes - Pseudomonas aeruginosa - Aerobic microbial count @ 20°C - Aerobic microbial count @ 37°C - Salmonella - Shigella - Vibrio cholerae - Vibrio parahaemolyticus - Yeast & mould (Final panel may vary based on your compliance need and risk assessment.) 2) Chemical analysis (process and safety indicators) - Common chemical checks include parameters linked to: - Taste/appearance control (e.g., pH, TDS) - Treatment efficiency (e.g., hardness/alkalinity where relevant) - Trace-level risk indicators (scope finalized per requirement) 3) Physical checks - Physical parameters help validate consistency and consumer acceptance, and support batch release documentation. Key benefits for your business - All-in-one testing approach: physical + chemical + microbiology coverage for decision-ready QA. - Early risk detection: identify contamination or process drift before it becomes a complaint or recall. - Audit-ready documentation: clean reporting structure that supports quality checks and inspections. - Practical guidance: if a parameter is off-spec, we can suggest probable causes and corrective actions. We support clients in Bengaluru and accept samples from across India via courier. Turnaround depends on the test panel (microbiology timelines vary by method). We will confirm timelines and sample quantity at the time of booking.
