At Aquaworks, delivering spring water of the highest purity is not just our promise — it’s our foundation. That’s why we are proud to display the SQF certification shield across our operations. This globally recognised mark of excellence assures our customers, distributors, and partners that every drop of water we produce meets the strictest food safety and quality standards in the world.
What is SQF Certification?
SQF (Safe Quality Food) is an internationally recognised program under the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). It provides a rigorous, science-based framework for managing food safety and quality at every stage of production. From sourcing and bottling to packaging and distribution, SQF certification ensures that our processes are independently audited and verified against the most demanding benchmarks.
Why the SQF Shield Matters
The shield is more than just a symbol — it’s proof of trust. For consumers, it means confidence in the water they drink. For retailers and distributors, it demonstrates that Aquaworks consistently meets world-class standards that align with both Australian regulations and international expectations.
By holding SQF certification, we provide:
Food Safety Assurance – guaranteeing that every product is handled under strict HACCP-based practices.
Global Recognition – giving our water credibility not only in Australia but also in export markets worldwide.
Consumer Confidence – assuring families, businesses, and communities that they are choosing water bottled with integrity.
Continuous Improvement – as part of SQF, we undergo regular audits and are committed to refining our systems year after year.
Aquaworks: A Trusted Quality Supplier
As a family-owned Australian company with over 25 years of heritage, we believe certifications like SQF aren’t just badges — they’re part of the responsibility we carry. Whether it’s our Little Hampton Spring Water in elegant glass, Peninsula Springs in everyday pop tops, or Acqua Sorrento sparkling cans, every brand in the Aquaworks family is backed by the same uncompromising standard of excellence.
When you see the SQF shield, you know you are drinking water that has been produced with care, integrity, and a commitment to global best practice.
