NSF Certification programs benefit regulators, consumers, and manufacturers.
The regulatory and consumer groups have the assurance that a credible,
objective, independent third-party, widely recognized by public health
officials, has actually tested and verified that certified products
comply with specific standards. By participating in NSF Certification
programs, with required testing, retesting and inspection/audits by
a third party, a manufacturer demonstrates the capability to produce
products complying with recognized standards. The standards specify
the requirements for the products, and may include criteria relating
to materials, design, construction and performance. NSF
maintains policies that establish additional requirements that a
company must comply with to maintain NSF Certification and authorization
to place the NSF Mark on products. These include initial and periodic
testing and/or evaluation, and annual unannounced inspections. If
the Mark is misused, or products do not continue to comply with
requirements, NSF will take enforcement action which may include
placing product and inventory on hold, destruction of product, de-listing,
recall, legal action, public notice, cancellation of contract or
other appropriate actions. A Certification Council, comprised of
representatives of all parties of interest--regulatory, user and
industry--oversees the development and implementation of policies
as well as the operation of the programs.
