关于NSF认证注册

NSF国际于1999年推出其无偿的非食品化合物注册程序，重新引入先前由美国农业部（USDA）管理的授权项目。

获得NSF资格注册的产品包括所有用于食品和围绕食品机构的化合物，例如消毒剂和润滑剂，以及那些用作食品加工的专用物资，如水果、蔬菜清洗剂。NSF注册对食品检验官员和最终用户确保食品配方和标签符合食品安全法规。

NSF注册基于NSF的注册指南（先前美国农业部USDA获得授权的可用于肉类和禽类加工厂的化合物的准则），它们包括：

• 对照联邦法规CFR 21, 9 和40条款审查产品配方

• 产品标签审查和适当使用说明的确认

• 使用用途分类和分类代码

• 发行注册信函（认证书）

符合这些要求的产品在NSF专有物资和非食品化合物白皮书公示网站（NSF White Book™ Listing）上发布，上面有可下载和打印的PDF版本的认证书。NSF注册过的产品也允许其在商品标签上携带NSF注册标识。

这个认证程序提供给产品制造商、最终使用者和监管/检查机构对确定产品可接受性一个行之有效的方法，并赞赏食品加工设备认证和NSF的食品安全评估。

NSF International launched its voluntary Nonfood Compounds Registration Program in 1999 to re-introduce the previous authorization program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Products eligible for NSF Registration include all compounds used in and around food establishments (nonfood compounds), such as disinfectants and lubricants, and those used for pre-processing of food proprietary substances, such as fruits/vegetable washing agents. NSF Registration assures inspection officials and end users that your formulation and labels meet appropriate food safety regulations.

NSF Registration is based on the NSF Registration Guidelines (formerly USDA Guidelines for Obtaining Authorization of Compounds to be Used in Meat and Poultry Plants), which includes:

• Formulation review against CFR Title 21, 9, and 40

• Label review and confirmation of appropriate use instructions

• Verification of intended use classification and category code

• Issuance of registration letter

Products complying with these requirements are identified in the online NSF White Book™ Listing of proprietary substances and nonfood compounds. A printable PDF version is also available. NSF Registered products are also permitted to carry an NSF Registration Mark on their product label.

This program provides product manufacturers, users, and regulatory/inspector groups with a proven method to determine product acceptability. This program compliments food processing equipment certification and NSF's food safety evaluations.
