Registration Program
NSF’s nonfood compounds registration program is an independent, third-party review that evaluates proprietary substances and nonfood compounds intended for use in food processing environments.
Nonfood compound registration includes the following components:
- Formulation review: We provide an independent review of ingredients against the requirements of 21 CFR and/or other acceptable regulations for a specific end use.
- Label review: We verify that the label has no misleading claims and includes appropriate end use instructions.
- Traceability: Registered products must bear the NSF registration mark and include the applicable category code.
- NSF’s White Book ™ listing: Registered products are listed online at www.nsfwhitebook.org.
ISO 21469 Certification
The ISO 21469 program certifies lubricants used in specialized industries such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and animal feed manufacturing. NSF provides an independent, third-party assessment of a lubricant’s compliance with hygiene requirements established by this ISO standard. Lubricants certified by NSF bear the official NSF ISO 21469 certification mark on their packaging and labels.
With the ever-increasing need to limit the introduction of chemical and physical contaminants in the food and beverage processing environments, manufacturers are looking for lubricants that support quality programs and comply with HACCP requirements.
