Trust but Verify

Confirming products comply with standards, bid specifications and code requirements

Have you ever been forced to prove something to someone? That happens all too often in the world of contracts, bid specification and standards. Typically what you need to do is show or prove that some product really and truly is certified to some standard. Because of that, knowing how to find products that comply can be the difference between a deal going through smoothly and experiencing delays and aggravation.

NSF has made its online product listings easy to navigate. Here’s how.

1. Go to www.nsf.org and click “Search Certified Products and Systems” in the right corner.

2. Once there, you can search by brand or company name, or scroll select Recreational Water Facility Products to be taken to pool/spa products.

3. Use the drop-down menu to narrow your search by Trade Name, Product Type, Facility Location and Manufacturer Name. There is also the option of Complete Listings, which allows users to perform electronic data search.

Companies that work with NSF to certify their pool and spa products gain clear national acceptance of their brands. NSF/ANSI Standard 50 is referenced within most pool/spa/waterpark health codes and building and construction codes.

The NSF International certification mark is all you need for product acceptance. NSF can address anything from pool alarms, suction fittings, SVRS, pumps and filters to complex chemical production and feeding systems, and process equipment such as ozone and UV treatment systems. We also provide complete swim spa testing and certification services.
