Seven Steps to Certification: Drinking Water Systems, Components and Chemicals

April 8, 2022

At NSF, we’ve been testing and certifying products for over 70 years. In that time, we have streamlined the process to make it less complicated.

We know time to market is important, and so is visibility into the certification process. That’s why we’ve broken it up into seven steps:

  • Application

    Your company submits an application.

  • Submission

    You provide product formulation, toxicology and product use information.

  • Review

    Our technical team reviews formulations and/or parts lists.

  • On-Site Audit

    We perform an on-site audit of the production facility and collect/request samples.

  • Testing

    Our laboratory conducts testing on the product.

  • Technical Evaluation

    We complete a final technical evaluation.

  • Certification

    NSF certification is granted (and maintained annually).
