Introducing the BWCA...
- The Bottled Water Cooler Association (BWCA) was
established in 1989 to represent the interests of the bottled
water cooler industry in the UK. A recent change of name to the
BRITISH Water Cooler Association reflects the extended remit of
the Association to encompass plumbed-in (POU - point-of-use) water
coolers.
- The BWCA’s mission is to ensure that its
members offer the highest standards of quality, safety and hygiene
to the consumer together with an unimpeachable product and service.
- The BWCA facilitates the exchange of technical,
scientific and regulatory information between Industry members
and related bodies and serves as the authoritative source of information
(other than statistical) concerning the bottled water cooler industry.
- For continued membership and accreditation, members
must adhere to strict Bylaws, Codes of Practice and the Code of
Advertising and Conduct and are audited for compliance annually
by 3rd party inspection organisations.
- The BWCA has close and ongoing relationships with
key national and local government departments and agencies including
the FSA, the Environment Agency, Trading Standards and Environmental
Health Departments.
At
a European level, the BWCA is a member of the European Bottled
Watercooler Association (EBWA). The BWCA takes a key executive
role in the activities of EBWA which represents the interests
of several hundred companies in the water cooler industry throughout
Western and Eastern Europe in relation to EU directives and regulations.
