NSF-61 CERTIFIED PRODUCTS FROM CRG


Within Canada and other jurisdictions, gaskets and seals for water treatment, processing, handling, and consumption must increasingly meet NSF-61 requirements to assure health and safety.

NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 (NSF-61: Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects) is a set of American standards founded by National Sanitation Foundation (NSF).  Commonly known as NSF-61, the standard is now adopted in the USA and Canada as a national standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Standards Council of Canada (SCC) respectively.

NSF-61 sets health effects criteria for products used in water distribution and plumbing systems, including gaskets, seals, and other components in order to ensure drinking water safety.

Unlike many suppliers who only use NSF-61 certified materials, CRG’s production system is certified to NSF-61. This means that CRG can supply product which is certified to NSF-61, providing the highest assurance of safety to our customers.

Why should customers seek a supplier like CRG who can supply NSF-61 certified product?

Consider these advantages:

1. ENHANCED QUALITY AND SAFETY

CRG’s production process for manufacturing NSF-61 certified products is reviewed and assessed annually by NSF. Customers can thus be assured that CRG has the capability to supply product which meets the strict criteria of the NSF-61 standard.

2. FEWER PERFORMANCE FAILURES

When products are not certified to NSF-61, manufacturers have no control or restrictions on changing material formulations. That can lead to contamination risk and performance failures. To maintain its certification, CRG cannot change suppliers or material formulations without evaluation and approval from NSF.

3. ENHANCED REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

With the increasing focus on regulatory compliance, regulatory agencies may be able to request the discontinued use of non-certified products. Fines may be imposed and costs incurred to remove non-certified product.

4. THE FINISHED PRODUCTS ARE TRACEABLE

Because the product is made under controlled conditions, the final product can be traced back to the source material from which it was made.
