【 摘 要 】

The article discusses the current state of normative ensuring of radiation safety of package drinking water. The article analyses radiation-hygienic requirements for packaged drinking water in the regulatory documents of the Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union. It is shown that the methodology for regulation of radiation safety of drinking water in the RSS-99/2009 and the “Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality” of the World Health Organization are practically identical. However, the direct application of the similar approach to the regulation of radiation safety indicators of packaged water is associated with significant difficulties, which in some degree are related to the lack of established classification of packaged drinking water. We propose to divide natural mineral medical water which is not intended for free sale as a separate category. For this category, regulations on the content of the radionuclides is not established. The article presents a justification of approaches to regulation of radiation safety of natural mineral drinking water and packaged blended drinking water. In the light of the unique flavor and medicinal properties of most of these waters, we considered various options for the radiation safety of the population, including through recommendations on limitation of the consumption of water. It is shown that for other types of packaged water, including drinking water for baby food, there is a perfectly acceptable application of the requirements on radiation safety, which are set for water.
