Our Certifications

Six Certifications. One Standard: Excellence.

Designer Water holds certifications that cover food safety, religious dietary compliance, and global benchmarking — because trust should be backed by evidence.

SANBWA Registered
South African National Bottled Water Association

SANBWA registration means Designer Water meets the strict standards set by South Africa's bottled water industry body. Regular audits verify our source water quality, bottling facility hygiene, and labelling accuracy.

ISO 22000 Certified
Food Safety Management System

The international gold standard for food safety. ISO 22000 certification confirms our entire production chain — from source water intake to sealed bottle — operates under a controlled, hazard-analysed management system.

Kosher Certified
Jewish Dietary Law Compliance

Certified Kosher by an accredited rabbinical authority. Our production processes, ingredients, and equipment meet the requirements of Jewish dietary law, making Designer Water suitable for Kosher consumers.

Halal Certified
Islamic Dietary Law Compliance

Certified Halal by a recognised South African Halal authority. Our entire production process, from water treatment to packaging materials, complies with Islamic dietary requirements.

GC Mark
Good Compliance Mark

The GC Mark confirms that Designer Water's operations meet South African regulatory compliance standards for consumer goods. It verifies adherence to labelling, packaging, and safety regulations.

GFSI Benchmarked
Global Food Safety Initiative

GFSI benchmarking means our food safety management system is recognised against global standards. This positions Designer Water alongside international brands that meet the same benchmarked requirements.

The Difference

What This Means For You

Certifications are more than logos on a label. They represent a commitment that runs through every part of how we operate.

Independently Verified

Every certification is issued by an independent third-party auditor. We don't grade our own homework.

Consistent Safety

ISO 22000 requires hazard analysis at every production point. Every batch, every bottle — the same controlled process.

Globally Recognised

GFSI benchmarking and ISO 22000 are recognised worldwide. Our standards don't stop at South Africa's borders.

Inclusive By Design

Kosher and Halal certifications mean everyone can enjoy Designer Water, regardless of dietary requirements.

Quality Process

From Source to Shelf. Every Step Controlled.

Our certifications aren’t achieved once and forgotten. They’re maintained through a continuous quality cycle.

1
Source Testing

Water sourced and tested at origin. Independent laboratory analysis verifies mineral content and purity before production begins.

2
Controlled Production

ISO 22000 food safety management governs every stage of the bottling process. Hazard points are identified, monitored, and controlled.

3
Batch Verification

Every production batch is tested and documented. Traceability means any bottle can be traced back to its source and production run.

4
Regular Audits

SANBWA, ISO, and religious certification bodies conduct scheduled and unannounced audits to verify ongoing compliance.
