TS 11643

TS 11643 is a service standard for drinking water sale places where water permitted for drinking and domestic use is sold by filling containers brought by customers. It addresses the retail service arrangement in which water is handed over in the customer’s own vessel, rather than through a conventional piped supply model.

In technical terms, the focus of this type of facility is not only the water itself but also the organisation of the selling point, the handling flow, and the way the drinking-water service is delivered to the public. In general technical context, relevant concerns typically include controlled filling operations, hygienic service practice, clear presentation of the service, and sale only for the authorised use category; these are the natural concepts associated with the subject, without implying that every detailed requirement is stated here.

As a service standard, TS 11643 distinguishes drinking water sale places from broader water supply and distribution systems. That distinction matters because the subject is the retail transaction and point-of-sale operation, not the design of a network. The referenced regulatory framework and related standards show how this service sits within general public-health, product-quality, and operational organisation requirements.
