BURNABY, British Columbia, Sept. 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- EYI Industries Inc. ("EYI") (OTCBB:EYII) (http://www.codebluewater.com) is pleased to announce that it is in receipt of the independent test results conducted for the Chinese government at the National Centre for Quality Supervision and Test of Processed Food on the Code Blue water filter. The test results have met the Code Blue products claims for use with potable water; however, the Code Blue water filter failed to pass one of the 31 tested variables. The Company has forwarded the tests results to the manufacturer of the Code Blue filter, MARTI, and their scientists are analyzing the results to determine how to meet the testing requirements of the Chinese government.
Jay Sargeant, EYI's President and CEO states: "We are pleased that the independent testing results show that the Code Blue meets 30 of the 31 standard requirements for China. Naturally, we are disappointed that we have one more hurdle to pass, but are determined to resolve this issue and bring clean water to China. Please refer to the table below for the actual test results."
