This binder is provided to you as part of our comprehensive annual testing package. In response to customer requests, this WATER binder is designed so that you can quickly locate, interpret and convey analytical data regarding the quality of your products and sources. Summary of Analytical Testing s The sample referenced above was submitted by your organization to our laboratory for 2017 testing. All analyses were performed by certified laboratories in conformance with NELAC standards and using USEPA approved methods. The analyses performed were customized to meet the regulatory requirements for annual testing of chemical and physical contaminants based upon the Beverage Company Profile your organization completed. All analyses have been completed and reviewed for compliance to EPA, FDA, and standards. This sample meets all the EPA, FDA 21 CFR Sec (b), and Standards of Quality. The Compliance Summary included in this WATER binder contains detailed information on the analytes tested and results obtained, in comparison to industry and federal standards. In addition, this WATER binder includes other helpful information such as a Glossary of Terms, Analyte Reference Guide, and sections of the FDA code of Federal Register (CFR's) that are applicable to bottled water production. Feedback from you is important to us. If you have any questions regarding the analytical testing performance or comments and suggestions on this WATER binder, please contact a Beverage Group Representative at , Option #5. If you prefer, you can us at food-bev@ntllabs.com. Sincerely, Robert W. Gelbach President, National Testing Laboratories, Ltd.

All results are expressed in unless otherwise specified. : The maximum contaminant level for the analyte as determined by the Environment Protection Administration. : The maximum acceptable level or standard of quality for the analyte as determined by the Food and Drug Administration. SOQ: The maximum acceptable level or standard of quality for the analyte as determined by the International Bottled Water Association. A blank or NA in one of the last three columns indicates that no maximum level has been established for that analyte.

3 SOQ SOQ for Fluoride is dependent upon temperature and other factors. Secondary Inorganic Parameters. SOQ s are established for evaluating aesthetic (non-health related) properties in water for items such as: Aluminum, Chloride, Color, Copper, Corrosivity, Foaming Agents (anionic surfactants), Iron, Manganese, Odor, ph, Silver, Sulfate, TDS, and Zinc. The measurement units for radiological contaminants are pci/l (Pico Curries per Liter). The measurement units for Dioxin are pg/l (Picograms per Liter). The measurement units for Asbestos are MF/L (Million Fibers per Liter). Included in FDA s 9 contaminant regulations: Antimony, Beryllium, Cyanide, Nickel, Thallium, Dioxin, Diquat, Endothall, Glyphosate. No SOQ s or MCL s established for individual trihalomethane (THM) or haloacetic acid (HAA) contaminants. The sum of the four THM s and five HAA s are regulated as total trihalomethanes (TTHM s) and total haloacetic acids (THAA s) respectively. Mineral water is exempt from some allowable levels. These exemptions are aesthetically based allowable levels and do not relate to a health concern. Examples are: Chloride, Iron, Manganese, Sulfate, TDS, and Zinc. Gross Alpha results over 5 pci/l trigger testing for Radium-226 and Radium-228 (which may already be required under other regulations). No SOQ's or MCL s established for Radium-226 and Radium-228 individually. The sum of Radium-226 and Radium-228 should not exceed 5 pci/l. Gross Beta results over 8 pci/l trigger testing for man-made radionuclides: Strontium-90 and Tritium. Borate calculated as H3BO3 from Boron analysis. Hydrogen sulfide determination based on Standard 4500-S2-H for approximating hydrogen sulfide from total sulfide. Both the FDA and Model Code guidelines for ph in purified water are The guideline for source water and other product waters is NOTE: This guideline is not enforceable. ABWI guideline ph value is between According to W.H.O. available data does not support the establishment of a health-based guideline value for ph in drinking water. This compliance summary report is provided as a courtesy to our customers and should only be used for regulatory compliance if submitted in combination with all individual laboratory reports from National Testing Laboratories and sub-contracted laboratories.
