It is characterised by a stable composition (minerals, trace elements etc.) which is preserved intact by the extraction and bottling methods. NMW in its state at source may not be the subject of any addition other than the introduction or reintroduction of carbon dioxide under certain conditions.

Spring Water: is water originating from an underground water table or deposit, which is also bottled at source. It should be microbiologically wholesome and naturally free from pollution and harmful micro-organisms, however, it does not need to demonstrate a stable composition.

Bottled Drinking Water: is any bottled drinking water which is neither spring water nor natural mineral water. It can come from a variety of sources, including municipal (tap) sources.
