NSF Standards were developed by the
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) International. NSF is a
world renowned scientific and technical expert in the health
and environmental sciences. Its professional staff consists
of engineers, chemists, toxicologists, and environmental
health professionals.
NSF is an internationally recognized, not-for-profit,
third-party testing organization that tests and certifies
home water filtration systems to ensure they meet strict
public health standards. Certified products that have been
tested to verify that they meet certain standards for health
and aesthetics will have the logo mark on the right.
This ultimately results in giving customers the assurance
that the filter system they are about to buy will do what
the manufacturer’s literature says it will do.
Benefits of NSF certifications:
-
Filter reduction claims are true ensuring you are buying
the right water treatment system.
-
No harmful chemicals will be added to the filtered water.
-
The system unit is structurally sound according to
specifications.
-
The filtration system is as advertised; no misleading
literature and labeling.

CE CERTIFICATES
CE-certification or CE Marking is a conformity marking
consisting of the letters “CE”. The CE Marking applies to
products regulated by certain European health, safety and
environmental protection legislation.
The CE Marking
is obligatory for products it applies to: the manufacturer
affixes the marking in order to be allowed to sell his
product in the European market.
CE is an
abbreviation for Conformité Européenne’, French for
‘European Conformity’. The CE Marking indicates that the
product it is affixed to conforms to all relevant essential
requirements and other applicable provisions that have been
imposed upon it by means of European directives, and that
the product has been subject to the appropriate conformity
assessment procedure(s). The essential requirements refer,
among other things, to safety, public health and consumer
protection.
