Leveraging Your NSF Certification: Now that you've received NSF Certification ... why not leverage the Mark to your advantage.
The Food Equipment Program begins with voluntary standards that represent a consensus between manufacturers, users, and regulatory authorities. In addition to developing and maintaining the standards, NSF offers a voluntary conformity assessment program -- testing, certification, and production facility audits -- to verify compliance.
The registered NSF Certification Mark on a food equipment product confirms that NSF has assessed -- and certified -- its conformity with the relevant NSF/ANSI standard. As part of the certification process, the production facility is audited annually. The purpose of this audit is to assure that all the requirements of the standard continue to be met, quality assurance and quality control procedures are followed in fabrication, products are sampled and retested on schedule, and labeling and product literature are true and accurate.
