Is NSF and UL Certification Important?
Very. NSF stands for National Sanitation Foundation and is looked upon as the ultimate foodservice design and equipment listing agency by the local building and health departments. In many states and counties if it does not have the NSF seal it is not allowed for public use. UL stands for Underwriter Laboratories and is well known in both the foodservice and building industries as a testing laboratory of products and materials. You will find a UL sticker on all UL tested products. This sticker will show their test results on varying items or show that it meets UL standards. Many building code professionals look for this sticker when approving electrical compliance.
