Six Reasons End Users Look for Certified Chemicals

Discover the six top reasons water utilities, food processors and other end users of water treatment chemicals seek certified products.

Using certified chemicals is important to end users for many reasons:

  • Unbiased Review

    They have undergone evaluation by an unbiased third party.

  • Product Longevity
    They are reevaluated over time to ensure consistent integrity and continued compliance.
  • Streamlined Purchase Process
    They can quickly be confirmed via a certification/registration mark and official certification listings.
  • Regulatory Compliance
    They meet regulatory requirements in the U.S., Canada and many other countries.
  • Product Specification Compliance
    They meet the product specifications for many organizations.
  • Added Credibility
    Using certified chemicals adds credibility in the marketplace, as standards (such as NSF/ANSI/CAN 60) are based on the most current regulatory requirements and are continuously updated as drinking water regulations are updated.
