THE AQUACERT PROCESS
THE AQUACERT CERTIFICATION PROCESS IS ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS AND STRONGLY ENCOURAGED BY PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORITIES. THIS CERTIFICATION INCREASES TRANSPARENCY FOR CONSUMERS BY MAKING THE QUALITY STANDARD MORE READER-FRIENDLY FOR WATER USED ON A DAILY BASIS.
Every day, people drink it, but they also use it to relax, relieve or even for treatments just as they have for centuries. Whether it’s spa treatments for children, managing a public swimming pool, or a wellness spa, we attribute different properties and characteristics to water for various needs.
Aquacert makes it possible to audit and certify all these types of water, in any form and provide both the public and professionals with the highest level of safe use of water that’s guaranteed , healthy and up to standard.
After quickly becoming an international standard, Aquacert is now managed by the NGO “Aquacert International” on 5 continents. This is a new kind of certification because it’s exclusively specialized for water. It ensures transparency for users by organizing annual audits of certified organizations. It makes it possible to discuss the conservation or the possible cancellation of the certification as an independent scientific committee after every annual audit.
Aquacert helps verify that certified companies or individuals still comply with the regulations and that they monitor water quality on a regular basis via analysis and internal audits.
For your safety, this certification provides a framework for hospitals, medicinal thermal springs and sea water treatment centers, spas and wellness centers that use water as part of a treatment. This also includes drinking water whether it’s bottled or from the tap, as well as water parks and natural outdoor areas for swimming and recreation.
AQUACERT IS A UNIQUE INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION DEVELOPED BY FRENCH SCIENTISTS AND ISSUED BY INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATIONS
THIS CERTIFICATION SOLVES THE ISSUES OF QUALITY AND SAFETY OF WATER USED FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES INTENDED FOR HEALTHCARE, OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND DRINKING WATER
plus safety
AQUACERT IMPLEMENTS VERY INNOVATIVE AUDIT AND CERTIFICATION GUIDELINES FOR ALL WATER USES LINKED TO HUMAN HEALTH
-
WATER AND HEALTH CARE
Due to their therapeutic properties, certain mineral or sea water is considered as a natural medicine – earth’s gift – and should be maintained in its original pure state if it’s to be used as part of medical treatments.
Aquacert was created to ensure that this particular water is in compliance with the primary purity criteria, and that when it’s used for treatments, it’s conducted properly.
-
DRINKING WATER
Because almost 60% of the human body is water, the quality of the water is essential to good health. We drink it several times a day and we use it to cook. We have an inextricable and vital link with it on a daily basis. Consequently, we are all concerned by the detrimental impact that poor water quality could cause.
Tap water, spring and mineral water – each can be very different depending on the situation and should be checked daily. Aquacert ensures its reliability regularly. -
RELAXING AND RECREATIONAL WATER
People of various ages and with very different health profiles are in daily contact with one another in these recreational or spa waters. This increases the risk of contamination which can occur if surveillance and monitoring is not sufficiently strict.
Whether it’s spas, water parks, natural or man-made swimming areas, Aquacert certification is still the best guarantee for you and your loved ones to enjoy high quality water without any health risks.
AQUACERT GUARANTEES
WITH AN ANNUAL SERVICE BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFICATION ORGANIZATION, Aquacert guarantees that you’ll have the best safety and quality level from water professionals.

WATER AND HEALTH CARE
In a category all its own, water for healthcare use requires attention that’s just as particular. Aquacert was created to ensure that mineral or sea water is in compliance with the original purity criteria when it’s used for healthcare. And this is in conjunction with the best current healthcare practices.
-
DRINKING WATER
This kind of water requires constant vigilance and daily verifications. Your health is in the hands of professionals who have committed to providing you this water. Aquacert makes it possible to guarantee the reliability of risk management systems for water that you drink every day.

RELAXING AND RECREATIONAL WATER
Spas, water parks, and natural or man-made swimming areas also have very special management constraints every day. The Aquacert certification is the best guarantee for you and your loved ones to enjoy safe water with no health risks.
ABOUT THE CRITERIA FOR AQUACERT CERTIFICATION
WHAT’S AN AQUACERT CERTIFIED FACILITY, SWIMMING AREA OR PRODUCT?
It means that the organization responsible for the product or service that it’s providing, has made a commitment to comply with the following :
- 1
Management and the entire staff have made quality and safety an essential issue and have made a commitment to constant vigilance for you,
- 2
In-house, a competent quality manager supervises activities thanks to a set of procedures which guarantee you with water quality and benefits as well as compliance with best practices when it comes to healthcare, for example
- 3
These procedures include a risk analysis and management system, compliant with top international standards, reviewed on a regular basis and which entails constant surveillance of critical elements to guarantee quality and safety for you,
- 4
In conjunction with this system, frequent analyses are carried out of the main parameters for surveillance of water and related products,
- 5
Emergencies have been considered and are part of predefined scenarios to guarantee you with quality and safety control,
- 6
Each situation which could lead to improving the quality and safety level is evaluated by the staff thanks to this system. In-house procedures require this strictness every day and performance is evaluated and maximized on a regular basis,
- 7
In the same way that water and related products are evaluated regularly, the staff involved in providing the products and services are also evaluated every year. In every specialty and at every level, the staff are evaluated and subject to improving their skills.
-
AND WITH HEALTHCARE FACILITIES (“HEALTHCARE WATER”), THESE PARTICULAR POINTS ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO EVALUATION :
• Studies are carried out to validate the therapeutic properties of water and treatments
• A team of professionals supervises medical management of patientsAnd of course, whichever organization it concerns, it is evaluated every year by an accredited independent Aquacert expert in order to guarantee you with the best quality and safety level.
PARTNERS AND THOSE INVOLVED
