This document establishes technical conditions for mineral drinking waters in Ukraine. The standard provides requirements for the chemical composition of water, mineralization, classification by the content of basic ions, as well as physicochemical indicators.
The tables of the document determine the permissible ranges of concentrations of hydrocarbonates, sulfates, chlorides, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and other trace elements in natural mineral waters of various regions of Ukraine.
Significance of the document:
