BIS CERTIFICATION OF HOME RO BASED WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

The quality of water available for human consumption is a direct measure of the
health of the population/community and indirectly to that of the country. In
populated countries like India, the quality of drinking water has deteriorated due to
contamination of soil and water by biological and industrial wastes and over
exploitation of ground water. Tapping of ground water for drinking purpose has
also increased in urban and semi-urban areas to meet the growing demand. Ground
water is generally characterized by high dissolved solids; mineral contents and may
contain harmful heavy metals and natural elements like excess fluoride. Reverse
Osmosis technology combined with sediment filter and carbon filter has proven to
be an effective water treatment method for removing various inorganic, organic
and microbiological contaminants from the water. Realizing the fact, many
organized and un-organized sectors have entered RO technology based water
treatment market. This trend necessitates the importance and urgency of drawing a
standard for RO based water treatment system. In this regard Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS) has developed Indian Standard IS 16240: 2015) for Reverse
Osmosis (RO) based Point of Use (PoU) Water Treatment System providing Type
approval for RO based Water Purifier. IS 16240 also covers the testing of
materials that come in contact with water for their safety.

In exercise of the powers conferred by sections 6 and 25 of the Environment
(Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986), Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate
Change vide notification G.S.R. 724(E) dated 08 Oct 2021 has made IS 16240
mandatory for certification by Bureau of Indian Standards.
