The new standards have been in development since 1994, and NSF has participated in technical reviews and discussions during this process. Like the NSF/ANSI standards for drinking water treatment products, these standards cover a wide range of treatment technologies and contaminant reduction claims.
The NSF Guide to the European Standards for Drinking Water Treatment Units will assist manufacturers in their product design and development decisions, particularly for those selling in both the European and North American markets.
The guide provides a detailed description of the new European standards, along with a comparison to the corresponding NSF/ANSI drinking water treatment unit (DWTU) standards, which include NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 44, 53, 55, 58 and 62.
