International Bottled Water Association (IBWA)

The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) is the authoritative source of information about all types of bottled waters. Founded in 1958, IBWA's membership includes U.S. and international bottlers, distributors and suppliers. IBWA is committed to working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates bottled water as a packaged food product, and state governments to set stringent standards for safe, high quality bottled water products. Bottler members must also adhere to the IBWA Model Code, which mandates additional standards and practices. Contact IBWA at 1-800-WATER-11 or www.bottledwater.org for more information about bottled water and a list of members' brands.
