Licences, audits and lab results

Certifications

Anyone can print the word pure on a label. What is worth asking a water company for is the paperwork: who licensed the plant, who audits it, and what the last independent test actually said. Ours is all on this page.

The company behind the brand

Southern Pearl International Services

Aqua Green is the brand. The company that holds the licences, runs the plant and signs the audits is Southern Pearl International Services (Pvt) Ltd, incorporated in Islamabad in April 2018 and registered with the SECP under CUIN 0119171.

Everything below is issued to that company at Plot No. 372, Japan Road, near Naval Anchorage Gate 5, Islamabad. That is the address of the plant itself, not a marketing office, which is the point of listing it.

The most recent test

What the June 2026 report found

A sealed 19 litre bottle went to the NIH Nutrition Division in Islamabad on 9 June 2026 and was reported on 22 June. These are the microbiological results, which are the ones that decide whether water is safe to drink at all.

ParameterResultPermissible
Total viable count0Under 20 per ml
Coliforms, most probable number00 per 100 ml
Thermotolerant faecal coliformNilNil per 100 ml
E. coliNilNil per 100 ml

The lab's own conclusion was that the sample is satisfactory as per tests performed. Methods used were PSQCA 3rd revision and APHA 23rd edition. Physical and chemical parameters were not part of this particular report, so no figures for those are quoted here.

Questions

Checking any of this yourself

How do I know these certificates are current?
Each card lists the number and the validity dates, and the full scan is one click away. Quote the number to the body that issued it and they will confirm it. If a date on this page has passed and we have not replaced the document, that is worth asking us about.
Why is a certificate issued to a different company name?
Aqua Green is a brand. The licence holder is Southern Pearl International Services (Pvt) Ltd, the company that owns and runs the plant. Both names appear on the PSQCA licence and the trade mark registration.
Can I get the test report for the bottle I bought?
Send us the date and the batch code printed on the bottle and we will send back the readings taken for that run. The report on this page is a periodic independent check rather than a per-batch record.
Are the certificates on this page complete?
Each image is the full document, reproduced at readable resolution. The only thing removed is the owner's national identity card number on the food business licence, which is blacked out because a CNIC does not belong on a public page.

Need these on file?

Offices, schools and clinics usually need the certificates for their own procurement records. Tell us what your team needs and we will send the current set.
