Meeting all the health and safety requirements for drinking water is crucial. Inspectors and regulators look for the mark of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a global safety science leader that provides testing, inspection and certification services, on drinking water products to give them confidence that the products meet all health and safety standards. That is why obtaining NSF 61 and NSF 372 certification is important to any company wanting to work in potable water applications.
PVP is certified
PVP recently obtained NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certification for its Double Disc Pumps. Certification to standard NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 confirms that PVP Double Disc Pumps meet the requirements of the 2014 Amendment to the U.S. Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. This recognition marks a new milestone in being able to provide pumps to the potable water treatment plant market. As an already well-established company and pump provider in the wastewater treatment industry, and other manufacturing processes, this latest certification allows the company to expand even further and into a new market.
The certifications
While NSF/ANSI 61 tests for all contaminants in drinking water; NSF/ANSI 372 pertains to, and tests for, lead content in drinking water. The addition of NSF certification means that PVP’s pumps can now be safely used in potable water applications in full compliance with the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.
The NSF certification applies to PVP’s global manufacturing headquarters facility in Warrington, PA; as well as to all of its Double Disc product sizes. PVP is looking forward to all the new opportunities this certification will bring in the drinking water market.
