NSF International to certify water filter bottles
NSF International will now test and certify filters used in portable water filter bottles against NSF American national standards for drinking water treatment products.
NSF International, an independent global organisation that writes public health standards and certifies products for food, water and consumer goods, developed the American national standards for water filtration products more than 40 years ago.
One of these standards, NSF/ANSI Standard 42: Drinking Water Treatment Units – Aesthetic Effects, is used to verify a drinking water filter effectively removes contaminants that cause undesirable odour and taste, such as chlorine. NSF scientists used the standard to develop an innovative testing method for water bottles with built-in filters.
NSF International tested four leading companies — Brita, CamelBak, Cool Gear, and Move Collective (Bobble filtered water bottle). Collectively, these brands are the first to have their water filter bottles certified to NSF/ANSI 42, which verifies that the products can effectively remove contaminants that cause undesirable odour and taste, including chlorine.
