Bottled Water Dispensers IS 17681:2022

Bottled water dispensers are essential appliances used in various settings such as homes, offices, gyms, and public spaces to provide convenient access to clean and safe drinking water. They are designed to hold large water bottles, typically ranging from 5 to 20 liters, and dispense water through a tap or spout, often offering both hot and cold water options. These dispensers enhance hydration by ensuring a readily available supply of water, reduce the need for single-use plastic bottles, and promote a healthier lifestyle. Additionally, they are user-friendly, cost-effective, and help maintain high standards of hygiene and water quality, making them a popular choice for ensuring access to potable water.

BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification is crucial for bottled water dispensers to ensure they meet stringent quality and safety standards. This certification guarantees that the dispensers are designed and manufactured to adhere to specific criteria related to hygiene, performance, and durability. It ensures that the materials used are safe for storing and dispensing drinking water, protecting consumers from potential health risks. BIS certification also validates that the dispensers are equipped with reliable mechanisms for temperature control (hot and cold water), leak prevention, and sanitation, thereby ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and fostering consumer confidence in the quality and reliability of the product.

Indian Standard IS 17681:2022

According to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, bottled water dispensers must comply with the Indian Standard IS 17681:2022. This standard outlines the essential specifications and requirements that bottled water dispensers must meet to ensure safety, reliability, and performance. Adherence to IS 17681:2022 guarantees that the dispensers are designed and manufactured with proper hygiene measures, effective temperature control mechanisms, and durable materials suitable for storing and dispensing drinking water. Compliance with this standard is crucial for manufacturers to align with regulatory guidelines, maintain product consistency, and ensure consumer confidence in the quality and safety of bottled water dispensers.
