NSF International is a third-party certification organization recognized by the World Health Organization. It has been a WHO Collaborating Centre for drinking water safety since 1996. NSF certification involves facility inspections, product testing, and retesting every 5 years. It certifies products and systems for reducing contaminants like chlorine, lead, and microbes based on published standards for areas like aesthetic effects, health effects, reverse osmosis systems, water softeners, UV disinfection, and more. NSF is uniquely qualified to provide objective third-party certification due to its global recognition and role in coordinating stakeholder interests worldwide regarding food and water safety.

3. Why is NSF Uniquely Positioned To Objectively Coordinate
Stakeholder Interests Worldwide?
為何全球均認定NSF是一具有公信力的認證單位？
NSF International has been a WHO Collaborating Centre for Drinking Water since
1996, with recognition for Food Safety added in 1997, and Indoor Air Health in 2000
. (http://www.who.int/collaboratingcentres/casestudies/en/index8.html).
於1996年起NSF為WHO飲用水評比的共同合作中心，並在1997年增加飲食安全，2000年室內空氣安全認證(WHO公開資料)
1996 - NSF is selected as a Collaborating Centre on Drinking Water Safety and
Treatment by the World Health Organization (WHO). This designation was renewed
in 2009. (http://www.nsf.org/business/about_NSF/history.asp).
NSF於1996年被世界衛生組織WHO評選為飲用水安全顧問,並於2009起重新認可 (NSF公開資料)
NSF is one of the most widely-respected and recognized global third-party
certification providers. As such, NSF is uniquely qualified to evaluate your products
and systems. ( http://www.nsf.org/business/certification_programs/ )
NSF為世界廣泛所接納的全球第三公正單位。因此NSF唯一為你的產品及系統做品質的評估
Recognized by WHO

4. NSF’s Certification
NSF的認證條件
The production facility inspection needs to take place prior to obtaining product
certification, but it can occur at any time during the process.
( NSF’s Certification Guide, 2011,pp.7)
現場商品製造的檢驗流程在產品取得認證之前的期間內的任一時間來進行 (NSF認證手冊,第七頁)
As an example, if a chlorine reduction claim reaches 5,000 liters of acceptable
treatment, but a lead reduction claim only reaches 2,500 liters, then the 2,500
liters is the smallest capacity and would become the system’s only capacity for
both chlorine and lead reduction. ( NSF’s Certification Guide, 2011,pp.7, pp.10 )
舉例:假如你的氯的去除量為5,000公升，但降低鉛僅達2,500公升，即2,500公升為降低氯及鉛的 處理容量(NSF認證手
冊,第七、十頁)
Product retesting is required at 5 year intervals for continued certification.
Product samples needed for five-year retesting will most likely be collected by
inspectors at the time of the annual inspection. ( NSF’s Certification Guide, 2011,pp.16 )
產品複檢必須五年重新認證一次以保證認證的持續性，認證產品由審核員於年度審核時抽樣 (NSF認證手冊,第十六頁)
