Our six certifications

Six marks. What each one means.

Food safety, religious dietary compliance and global benchmarking. Trust backed by evidence, not marketing.

SANBWA

South African Bottled Water

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

ISO 22000

Food safety management

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

Global Food Safety Initiative

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.

The difference

What this means for you.

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

01

Independently verified

Every certification is issued by an independent third-party auditor. We don't grade our own homework. Every audit is done by an external body with its reputation on the line.

02

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.

03

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.

01

Source testing

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

02

Controlled production

ISO 22000 food safety management controls every step: sediment filtration, RO, UV, ozone, mineralisation and bottling. All with documented checks.

03

Batch verification

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

04

External audit

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