Hi Max
In addition to any accredited standard you will also have to meet the specific rules for the States in which you want to sell.
There are different requirements in different states.
e.g To sell in new York State samples from every batch to be shipped to the USA must be tested at a facility approved by the state authorities
From the UK we have to send samples to Switzerland as the nearest approved laboratory
I don't believe there are any approved laboratories on South America, you would need to use one of the US labs.
If you want to sell in California you need to complete a Water Bottling Plant License Application (Out of State Bottler) and of course pay the appropriate fee.
and so it goes on.
