The association cooperates closely with the Non-alcoholic Drink Producers Association, the Czech Industrial Coalition for Packaging and the Environment, the Czech Confederation of Commerce and Tourism, and other professional associations.

Members of the Mineral Water Association are holders of many quality certifications: ISO, IFS, BRC and the ISO 22000 standard, which must be renewed each year by auditors of international organisations. This ensures that the quality systems in use are systematically reviewed, improved, and innovated.

Through the Association’s education efforts, the general public receives adequate information about proper drinking habits. The members publish articles, give interviews, and prepare various materials for the media.
