 (a) the food has an average osmolality of 200–340 mOsmol/kg; and
 (b) the claim is about any of the following:
 (i) rapid rehydration in association with words to the effect of 'after at least 60 minutes or more of strenuous physical activity';

2.6.2—17 Claims in relation to the tonicity of electrolyte drinks
(1)  A claim that an electrolyte drink is isotonic may only be made if the electrolyte drink has an average osmolality of 250–340 mOsmol/kg.
(2) For the labelling provisions, for an electrolyte drink about which a claim is made that the drink is isotonic, hypertonic or hypotonic, the following information is required—a declaration of the osmolality of the electrolyte drink, expressed in mOsm/L.
 Note:  The labelling provisions are set out in Standard 1.2.1.
