FSSAI is considering a new amendment to the existing standards of packaged drinking water which is offered or sold through vending machines. Currently, packaged water comes under the specification of FSSAI Regulations 2011 while it does not cover water sold through vending machines.
The proposed amendment by FSSAI for the drinking water from vending machines will have to comply with the parameters specified for packaged drinking water and will be exempted from the requirement of certification mark of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
