Water is integral to the existence of life on earth, be it human, animals, or plants. Only 2.5% of the total water on planet earth is fresh and potable. This isn’t any hidden fact that water affects the production, manufacturing, & cultivation in many ways. The presence of toxic elements, contaminants, and chemical residues can destroy the product quality. Hence, a plethora of statutory bodies and governing agencies have imposed standards to check the quality of water. Some of the major standards are:
- Indian Standards (IS)
- American Public Health Association (APHA)
- The Food and Drug Administration (USFDA)
- Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) manuals for analysis
- American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
