Water Treatment and Distribution Systems

The NSF Water Treatment and Distribution Systems Program is responsible for the certification of drinking water treatment chemicals and drinking water system components to ensure that these products do not contribute contaminants to drinking water that could cause adverse health effects.

NSF/ANSI Standard 60: Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals -- Health Effects is the nationally recognized health effects standard for chemicals which are used to treat drinking water.

NSF/ANSI Standard 61: Drinking Water System Components -- Health Effects is the nationally recognized health effects standard for all devices, components and materials which contact drinking water.

How to Become NSF Certified?

The NSF Mark, well respected by public health officials, retailers, and consumers, is recognized as a symbol of product quality and integrity. Through the years, the NSF Mark has helped thousands of manufacturers get to market faster, expand into new export markets, and get their products accepted more easily.

We've listened carefully to our customers over the years and so we've tried to make the NSF certification process as simple and efficient for our clients, whilst maintaining standards of excellence. By assigning a dedicated NSF project manager, you will have one single point of contact to guide you through the process, overseeing your certification project every step of the way.

The NSF Certification Process: Logical and Easy

  1. Client submits application
  2. Client and suppliers provide formulation, toxicology and product use information
  3. NSF reviews formulation
  4. NSF performs plant audit and sample collection
  5. NSF conducts testing
