Our Six 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, not marketing.

South African Bottled Water

SANBWA

SANBWA registration means Designer Water meets the strict standards set by South Africa's bottled water industry body. Regular audits cover production hygiene, source water integrity, and labelling accuracy.

SA Industry Body

Food Safety Management

ISO 22000

The international gold standard for food safety management. ISO 22000 requires hazard analysis at every production point and continuous improvement protocols verified by third-party auditors.

International Standard

Global Conformity

GC Mark

The Global Conformity Mark certifies that our product quality meets agreed international benchmarks. Every batch is independently verified before it leaves the facility.

Quality Certification

Global Food Safety Initiative

GFSI Benchmarked

The Global Food Safety Initiative benchmarks the world's most rigorous food safety schemes. Designer Water meets GFSI requirements — the same standard used by major retailers worldwide.

Global Benchmark

Religious Dietary Compliance

Kosher

Designer Water is independently certified Kosher. Production processes, equipment, and ingredients meet the requirements of Kosher dietary law as audited by an accredited authority.

Dietary Compliance

Religious Dietary Compliance

Halal

Designer Water is independently certified Halal. Production, ingredients, and supply chain are audited to ensure every bottle meets Halal dietary requirements.

Dietary Compliance
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 — every audit is conducted by an external body with their reputation on the line.

Consistent Safety

ISO 22000 requires hazard analysis at every production point. From source water testing through filtration, mineralisation, and bottling, each step has documented controls and corrective actions.

Continuous Audits

Certifications aren't a one-time achievement — they're earned and re-earned. Designer Water undergoes scheduled re-audits to keep every certification active. Every year. Every batch.

Our Quality Cycle

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 system controls every step — sediment filtration, RO, UV, ozone, mineralisation, bottling — with documented checks.

3

Batch Verification

Every batch tested for pH, mineral profile, microbiology, and visual quality before release. Records retained for traceability.

4

External Audit

Independent SANBWA, ISO 22000, GC Mark, GFSI, Kosher and Halal auditors return on schedule. Pass to renew. Fail to lose. Simple.
