What are the ANSI/NSF standards, and who sets them?
For more than 60 years, the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) has been the trusted third-party testing organization for product manufacturers that deliver and treat drinking water. They are an independent, not-for-profit organization. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has served in its capacity as administrator and coordinator of the United States private sector voluntary standardization system for more than 80 years. Founded in 1918 by five engineering societies and three government agencies, the Institute remains a private, nonprofit membership organization supported by a diverse constituency of private and public sector organizations.
