最新文本请详见   Standard2.6.2.pdf，已更新至2014.10.30
 

Purpose

This Standard deals with packaged waters and water-based beverages which contain food additives and in certain cases, nutritive substances.  The Standard defines a number of products and sets certain compositional requirements for packaged water, electrolyte drinks, brewed soft drinks and formulated beverages.  The Standard also permits the voluntary addition of fluoride to water presented in packaged form.

Labelling requirements specific to electrolyte drinks and water presented in packaged form are included in this Standard.  This Standard also prohibits the labelling or presentation of non-alcoholic beverages in such a way as to suggest the product is an alcoholic beverage.
