Contaminants in Drinking Water
Due
to increased awareness by end users, the 1998 amendments to the Safe
Drinking Water Act, and litigation under California's Proposition 65,
Truesdail offers the following Per ANSI/NSF Standard 61:
- Toxicological reviews
- Leaching investigation for lead and
regulated metals
- Multi-day leaching investigation for
regulated organics
- Testing for microbiological growth
- Abbreviated testing for product
development
Our
reports can include full analytical data, easy-to-interpret
spreadsheets and graphs, and the supporting quality control data.
Third Party Certification
The
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has developed a program
(ANSI Z34.1-199x etc.,) to accredit a third-party product certification
program. This accreditation, developed around ISO guidelines, allows
organizations to certify products as meeting defined ANSI (and other)
specifications. To be accredited, certifying organizations must undergo
a formal evaluation process and an on-site audit.
The
ANSI program first requires an inspection of the production and quality
control program, and an on-going testing program be established.
On
January 3, 1997, the ANSI "Standards Action" published notice of the
approval of Truesdail Laboratories' certification program. See listing
at: ANSI
Accredited Labs
Further,
in May of 1998, the International Association of Plumbing and
Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) approved Truesdail's testing program for
ANSI/NSF 61. See listing at: IAPMO Listed Labs
Buyers
for many large stores and manufacturers (and their risk managers) are
now demanding that their vendors supply third-party testing data on
their products. Participation in a certification program will verify
the performance and safety of the product and allow you to apply a
certification mark like the one that follows to your product and
marketing literature.

Meets:
ANSI/NSF 61-8 (Current Year)

The
Truesdail certification program for ANSI/NSF 61 will allow you to

amendments for faucets and other plumbing devices.
