Official Recognition of Natural Mineral Water. Legal Frame and Practical Implementation Including Recognition of Natural Mineral Waters from Third Countries Ilona Drulyte National Food and Veterinary Risk Assessment Institute Lithuania

Legislation in Lithuania Basic legislation adopted by the Minister of Health: Lithuanian Hygiene Norm HN 28:2003 „Requirements for exploitation and marketing of natural mineral water and spring water“ – transposing EU Directives Rules of recognition of natural mineral water in Lithuania – defines procedure of the recognition

Application and relevant documents Protocol on the recognition of Natural Mineral Water Lithuanian Geological Survey Radiation Protection Centre State Public Health Service Publication Distribution of information to concerned authorities

Recognition Legal framework - Art.1 of 2009/54/EC recognized extracted from the ground of a MS and recognized by the responsible authority of that MS recognized extracted from the ground of a third country, imported into the Community and recognized as natural mineral waters by the responsible authority of a MS

Recognition of local waters Recognized by responsible authority as satisfying the provisions of Annex I, section I (definition): Underground water source that is protected from pollution Microbiologically wholesome Characteristic composition Composition, temperature and other essential characteristics remain stable within the limits of natural fluctuation

Rules of recognition of natural mineral water in Lithuania For the recognition should be submitted data (Report) on the physical, chemical and microbiological composition demonstrating correspondence to the requirements for natural mineral water

Geological & hydrological data

Geological & hydrological data - approved by Lithuanian Geological Survey Geological status of the water source Protection of aquifer from possible contamination Hydrological data Information on catchment’s equipment Organoleptic, physical, chemical & physico-chemical parameters at the source Data on influence of flow rate to water composition Recommended flow rate Monitoring foreseen Protection (safeguard) zones

Report: other data Main constituents Trace elements Organic contaminants Microbiology Data on radioactivity - approved by Radiation Protection Centre Data given in the report on physical, chemical and microbiological parameters should be based on analysis carried out in accredited laboratories

Main constituents Li + F - H 2 SiO 3 Na + Cl - H 3 BO 3 K + Br - pH NH 4 + I - CO 2 Mg 2+ NO 2 - Dry residues at C & C Ca 2+ NO 3 - Sr 2+ SO 4 2- Mn 2+ HCO 3 - Fe 2+/3+ HPO 4 2-

Trace elements SbCdRb AsZnSe AlCrAg SnCuCo BaPbMo BeHgV CsNiU

Organic substances and indicators Permanganate index Surface active substances PCB CyanidesPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons Esters of phtalates Total organic carbon HaloformsAntioxidants Total organic nitrogen Halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons Others (if they could be as a result of contamination) PhenolsPesticides

Microbiological parameters Total colony count at & 37 0 C (at least 30 samples at different seasons) E.coli and other coliforms Faecal streptococci Sporulated sulphite-reducing anaerobs (clostridium) Ps. Aeruginosa Absence of parasites and pathogens

Fluctuation tolerated Composition, temperature and other essential characteristics of NMW at the catchments must remain stable within the limits of natural fluctuation and not affected by variations on the rate of flow ± 20 % for main constituents ± 50 % for CO2 Based on data of analysis performed in 30 days-2 years period monitoring depending on type of aquifer (at least 6-24 samples respectively)

Wellfield’s protection (safeguard) zone Legal obligation Consist from 3 protection strips: strong protection (high security), microbial contamination, chemical contamination Limited activities Registration

Water suppliers are responsible for the proper management of the high security strips of the safeguard zone and all the water supply equipment therein It must be fenced or in other means protected from illegal influence

Restrictions of activities in wellfield protection zone Activities in protection zone limited as to avoid possible contamination Depends on type of aquifer Listed in legislation

Procedure of establishment of protection zone Methodology of calculation approved by Lithuanian Geological Survey Safeguard zones should be indicated in the territorial planning document (maps) in municipalities Persons engaged in economic activity in the second and third strip, must follow restrictions of economic activities

Waters from the third countries Certificate (-es) of the responsible authority in the country of origin of water: That water corresponds to the requirements for natural mineral water (definition) Regular checks made on the application of the provisions of Annex II, paragraph 2 This certificate must be provided together with other documents and valid up to 5 years

Documents provided with certificate (1) Technical means as to prevent contamination of groundwater and at the point of extraction and preserve it’s characteristic properties: prevention from contamination of the outlet, catchments, treatment and bottling equipment; suitability to come into contact with water of materials used for equipment of catchments, distribution system, reservoirs and bottling; means to prevent adverse effect on the microbial and chemical characteristics of water at the use of water, particularly during the washing of reservoirs and bottling; means to ensure of aseptic distribution of natural mineral water from point of abstraction till bottling; prohibition of transportation of natural mineral water in containers other than those for distribution to the ultimate consumer

Documents provided with certificate (2) Data on checks of natural mineral water: results of regular inspection of responsible authority in the country of abstraction including data on microbial, physicochemical and chemical characteristics; results of self monitoring provided by company including data on microbial, physicochemical and chemical characteristics; application of HACCP (implementation and surveillance).
