ANSI/NSF standards
ANSI/NSF standards are guidelines established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) to ensure that products, especially those related to food, water, and consumer safety, meet strict health and safety requirements. These standards cover various categories, including materials, design, and performance, ensuring that items like water filters, food equipment, and plumbing components are safe for use. When you see the ANSI or NSF mark on a product, it indicates that it has been tested and meets these rigorous standards, giving consumers confidence in its safety and reliability.
