Águas de Carvalhelhos: version 4
Saved 2026-09-14 13:28 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled the queued prefix question and rebuilt the stub around it. GS1 prefix 5601405 stays in gs1_prefixes_inferred: Verified by GS1 answers 403 to the server, GEPIR is a JavaScript shell, GS1 Portugal (Codipor) publishes no prefix-to-member register and its own GCP note says a company prefix is a licence, not a company identifier, and the maker's 2025 catalogue prints no barcodes, so nothing names the licensee; the search and the basis are now written out in About. The basis is stronger than before: three further articles under the prefix are cited, 5601405000104 (new ref sieta), 5601405002252 (auchan-gas) and 5601405002634 (auchan-still), and the two Auchan data sheets print 'ÁGUAS DE CARVALHELHOS, SA, Boticas - 5460-130 Beça' as the responsible operator, so the prefix is not inferred from a single pack any more. Also added founded: 1941-11-28 after re-reading Iberinform (Ciberforma's 1 January 1941 is kept as the disagreement in About), the full seat address and the export note from the maker's catalogue (new refs catalogue and gs1-gcp), and a Meta title and description. Nothing was removed: the original Identity fields, the legal alias, all five original References rows and every fact in the old About are still there.. This is the current version.

## About <!--about-->
Águas de Carvalhelhos, S.A. is a Portuguese sociedade anónima at Rua das Caldas 2, Carvalhelhos, 5460-130 Beça, in the Boticas municipality of Vila Real, tax number 500012032, whose registered activity is bottling natural mineral and spring waters (CAE 11071).[^iberinform] Iberinform dates its incorporation to 28 November 1941; Ciberforma, which places the registration at the Boticas commercial registry, gives 1 January 1941.[^ciberforma] It owns the century-old Carvalhelhos brand,[^maker-about] is printed as bottler on its labels,[^label-2026] and is named as the responsible operator on Portuguese retailer data sheets.[^auchan-gas] Its 2025 catalogue lists still and sparkling water in glass and PET from 25 cl to 1.5 L and says exports, chiefly to the United Kingdom, United States, Belgium, Canada and Germany, are about a quarter of sales.[^catalogue]
GS1 prefix 5601405 remains inferred rather than sourced. Verified by GS1 answers 403 to a server request, GEPIR serves only a JavaScript shell, and GS1 Portugal (Codipor) publishes no public prefix-to-member register; its own guidance states that a company prefix is a licence to create GS1 keys and is not an identifier of the company holding it, so no record naming the licensee was found.[^gs1-gcp] The company's catalogue prints no barcodes.[^catalogue] The attribution rests on the articles: 5601405001200,[^label-2012] 5601405000104,[^sieta] 5601405002252[^auchan-gas] and 5601405002634[^auchan-still] are all Carvalhelhos waters, and the retailer sheets for the last two print "ÁGUAS DE CARVALHELHOS, SA, Boticas - 5460-130 Beça" as the operator.
