| What does NSF Certification mean? |
| For a drinking water treatment system to become NSF Certified, it must meet five basic requirements: 1. Contaminant reduction claims are true. 2. The system does not add anything harmful to the water. 3. The system is structurally sound. 4. The advertising, literature and labeling are not misleading. 5. The materials and manufacturing process used do not change, meaning consistent product quality over time. NSF Certification programs benefit regulators, consumers and manufacturers. The regulatory and consumer groups have the assurance that a credible, objective, independent third-party, widely recognized by public health officials, has actually tested and verified that certified products comply with specific standards. By participating in NSF Certification programs, with required testing, retesting and inspection/audits by a third party, a manufacturer demonstrates the capability to produce products complying with recognized standards. The standards specify the requirements for the products, and many include criteria relating to materials, design, construction and performance.
