CBD and Hemp Product Certification
To ensure that consumers have safer options for popular hemp and CBD products, NSF can certify them to the following standards:
- NSF/ANSI 173 (Contents Certified)
- NSF 229
- NSF 306 (NSF Certified for Sport®)
NSF can also certify your facility operations to NSF/ANSI 455-2 for dietary supplements and NSF/ANSI 455-3 for cosmetics, and your dietary ingredient manufacturing can achieve NSF 173 GMP registration.
Hemp and CBD product certification helps brands by:
- Certifying that their products do not contain unacceptable levels of contaminants, including those specific to hemp, like THC and certain solvents
- Verifying the validity of label claims by an accredited body
- Elevating brands by demonstrating a dedication to quality
Finished products with use instructions of up to 60 milligrams per day can be certified with these cautionary statements:
- Not intended for children
- Do not use if pregnant, nursing or trying to conceive
- Intended for short-term use
NSF Certified for Sport® and Hemp/CBD
Finished products seeking NSF Certified for Sport® certification must meet the additional strict THC requirements of NSF 306.
NSF GMP Certification and Hemp/CBD
GMP certification (for dietary supplement manufacturers or packers) or registration (for dietary ingredient manufacturing) provides consumers and retailers with assurance that your product is manufactured utilizing best industry practices.
