Codex Alimentarius Commission standards and the Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality
Rolling revision of the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality
This issue is included in the plan of work of the rolling revision of the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality.
Background
It has been drawn to WHO’s attention that the text of the Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality implies that both the CAC standard for bottled/packaged water and the CAC standard for mineral waters refer to the Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality, whereas only the bottled/packaged water standard refers to the Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality.
Expected end-product(s)
Revised text for second addendum.
Progress to date
The Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality Working Group meeting (Geneva, 2005) agreed on a plan of work.
