The NSF Kitchen Products Certification Program provides voluntary conformity assessment -- testing, certification, and production facility audits -- to verify compliance to NSF residential equipment sanitation Standards and Protocols. The NSF Standards and Protocols apply to:
Major appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens and ranges
Small appliances such as microwaves, toasters, coffee makers, blenders, mixers, and food processors.
Other kitchen products such as oven mitts and coffee machine cleaners.
Certification with NSF allows the use of the highly recognized and credible NSF Mark on your product. Manufacturers can differentiate their products in the marketplace through NSF's independent third-party product certification service, which includes product testing, facility inspections and use of the NSF Mark.
NSF certification demonstrates to regulatory officials, retailers, and consumers that products have obtained the most respected and accepted conformity assessment Marks in the industry. NSF certification programs are accredited to the international standards for third-party product certifiers through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Standards Council of Canada, assuring the highest level of integrity, quality and acceptance.
