Why is NSF certification important in stainless steel fabrication?

Certification by NSF is a process that varies according to the product, service, or process that is seeking certification. Though it generally follows a specific process that involves an application, product evaluation, lab testing of the product, inspections of manufacturing facilities, product sampling, review of results, and acceptance.

Once a product is accepted and certified, there will be yearly inspections and retesting in order to maintain the NSF Certification.
