About IS 16240 : 2023

IS 16240:2023 is the latest Indian Standard for Reverse Osmosis (RO) Based Point of Use (PoU) Water Treatment System for Drinking Purposes. It was published by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) on March 15, 2023 and supersedes the previous standard, IS 16240:2015.

 

The standard specifies the requirements for RO PoU water treatment systems, including their design, materials, construction, performance, testing, labeling, and packaging. It is applicable to all manufacturers, importers, and sellers of these systems in India.

 

The purpose of the standard is to ensure that RO PoU water treatment systems are safe and effective for producing drinking water that meets the Indian drinking water standards. RO PoU systems are used to remove contaminants from water, including bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals. They are often used in homes, offices, and schools to provide a safe and reliable source of drinking water.

IS 16240:2023 is an important standard for anyone involved in the manufacture, sale, or use of RO PoU water treatment systems in India. It is also a valuable resource for consumers who are considering purchasing or using an RO PoU system.

 

RO PoU systems are a popular choice for water treatment in India because they are relatively affordable and easy to install. They are also effective at removing a wide range of contaminants from water. However, it is important to note that RO PoU systems can also produce wastewater, which must be disposed of properly.

 

RO PoU systems are typically used in conjunction with other water treatment methods, such as pre-filtration and post-filtration. This helps to ensure that the system produces water that is safe and suitable for drinking.
