NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 Readiness Tool
Do you have a pool and spa product or chemical you want to verify is safe and effective? You should certify it to the proper safety and performance standard, NSF/ANSI/CAN 50.
NSF/ANSI/CAN 50: Equipment and Chemicals for Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs and Other Recreational Water Facilities covers these products exactly. Not only that, but it is referenced in multiple US national pool codes and is therefore mandatory in this market and beyond.
Our readiness tool for this standard gives insight into how prepared you are to begin the process.
NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 applies to recreational water facilities’ chemicals, materials, products, and systems, including:
- Pool covers
- Pool alarms
- Pool chemicals
- Pumps
- Filters (sand, cartridge, precoat, membrane)
- Chemical feeders and generators
- UV
- Controllers
- Flow meters
- Water quality test devices (strips, bench top, in-line)
Product testing includes:
- Material safety
- Durability
- Life testing
- Output
- Performance
- Marking
- Installation
- Use instructions
- Design and construction requirements
