Standards on Continuous Maintenance

NSF International informs all stakeholders that the NSF/ANSI standards listed below shall be maintained using continuous maintenance. Additional standards may be identified and added to this list in the future.

According to NSF's standards development and maintenance policies, all sections of a standard will be reviewed every five years.

An issue document can be completed by any stakeholder to suggest a modification to an existing standard. The procedure for completing the issue document is also available. Issue documents can be returned:
