About NSF
NSF is an independent organization dedicated to being the leading global provider of public health and safety-based risk management solutions while serving the interests of all stakeholders, namely the public, the business community and government agencies.
Manufacturers and regulators look to us to help them comply with standards and regulations with regard to food, water, consumer products and the environment. As an independent organization, we provide a range of services to our clients through product testing, auditing, consultancy, training, consumer insight services and technical support services.
Providing food services in Europe, we serve the agriculture, retail, food manufacturing, hospitality and leisure, catering and foodservice, institutional, food equipment and nonfood compounds sectors. We are fully equipped to be your single-source partner for quality and food safety needs and consumer insight services in Europe.
NSF provides an extensive range of services for the water industry to help ensure the quality and safety of products in the marketplace. Separate from helping to facilitate consensus-based standards, NSF’s water programs test and certify products for drinking water, pools/spas, plumbing, plastics and wastewater. Our global offices provide comprehensive services, quality support and superior knowledge to help you grow your business while saving time and money.
