NSF/ANSI 58
FILTRATION SYSTEMS STANDARDS

The NSF/ANSI 58 standard includes:

This standard includes requirements addressing various aspects of these systems, including: safety of materials in contact with drinking water, structural integrity, TDS (total dissolved solids) reduction performance, efficiency rating, recovery rating, contaminant reduction performance, information for the end user.

SCOPE	Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Treatment Systems
CLAIMS	This standard offers various claims. Besides the required TDS (total dissolved solids) reduction, some of the most popular categories include cyst, hexavalent and trivalent chromium, arsenic, nitrate/nitrite, cadmium, lead, VOCs, barium, turbidity, fluoride, copper, and so on.
TESTING	Material safety, structural integrity and contaminant reduction claims (claims vary by product).

NSF/ANSI 42, 53 AND 401
FILTRATION SYSTEMS STANDARDS

NSF/ANSI 42: DRINKING WATER TREATMENT UNITS – AESTHETIC EFFECTS

This standard establishes minimum requirements for systems designed to reduce non-health-related contaminants.

SCOPE	Point-of-use and point-of-entry systems
CLAIMS	Chlorine, taste and odor, chloramine, particulate, iron, manganese, zinc and total dissolved solids (TDS)
TESTING	Material safety, structural integrity and specific aesthetic-related contaminant reduction claims (claims vary by product)

NSF/ANSI 53: DRINKING WATER TREATMENT UNITS – HEALTH EFFECTS

This standard establishes minimum requirements for systems designed to reduce specific health-related contaminants.

SCOPE	Point-of-use and point-of-entry systems
CLAIMS	This standard offers over 50 contaminant reduction claims. Some of the most popular include: lead, Cryptosporidium, VOCs and chromium.
TESTING	Material safety, structural integrity and specific health-related contaminant reduction claims (claims vary by product)

NSF/ANSI 401: EMERGING COMPOUNDS/INCIDENTAL CONTAMINANTS

This standard addresses the ability of a water treatment device to remove up to 15 individual contaminants which have been identified in published studies as occurring in drinking water. The contaminants covered in NSF/ANSI 401 have been detected in drinking water supplies at trace levels and can affect some consumers’ perception of drinking water quality.

SCOPE	Point-of-use and point-of-entry systems
CLAIMS	This standard offers up to 15 specific contaminant reduction claims. Some of the most popular categories include prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, herbicides, pesticides and chemical compounds.
TESTING	Material safety, structural integrity and specific emerging compounds/incidental contaminants outlined in the standard.

NSF/ANSI 372 FILTRATION SYSTEMS STANDARDS

The NSF/ANSI 372 standard includes:

A maximum weighted lead content requirement of 0.25 percent (0.2 percent for solders and fluxes)

A formula for calculating the weighted average lead content of each product prior to testing

Specific procedures for testing products for lead content
