NSF International
NSF International, founded as the National Sanitation Foundation, works to standardize sanitation and food related requirements. Later expanding into other industries and changing their name to NSF International, NSF has a strong focus on food and water safety, as well as certification and testing for those fields. Serving companies in other 150 countries, NSF-developed standards play a key role in health codes in America and abroad. Standards from NSF are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: StandardsSubscriptions@ansi.org or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.
