Market segments we serve:
Brainerd Chemical Company supports businesses across various industries by providing NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certified products for:
1. Municipal Water Treatment: Drinking water and wastewater treatment. Chemicals commonly used in municipal water treatment plants for coagulation and flocculation processes. These chemicals help to remove impurities and suspended solids from water, ensuring regulatory standard compliance for safe drinking water. NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification establishes that these chemicals are safe for use in municipal water treatment systems.
2. Industrial Water Treatment: Industrial wastewater and pre-treatment. Treatment chemicals may be used as corrosion and scale inhibitors, coagulants, and flocculants, as well as a biocide, disinfectant or oxidizer. NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification ensures the safety and quality of these chemicals in industrial water treatment applications, such as boiler water treatment, cooling water treatment, and process water treatment.
3. Hygiene and Janitorial: Commercial buildings, including hotels, hospitals, and office complexes use treatment chemicals as a sanitizer, biocide, disinfectant, antimicrobial, bleaching agent, and deodorizer. NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification provides assurance that these chemicals meet stringent safety and quality standards for use in commercial water treatment applications.
4. Agriculture: Treatment chemicals help improve water quality for irrigation and crop production while minimizing environmental impact. NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification ensures that these chemicals are safe for use in agricultural applications and do not pose risks to human health or the environment.
5. Food and Beverage: Food and beverage manufacturers use water treatment chemicals to ensure the quality and safety of their products. NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification is essential to meet regulatory requirements and ensure consumer confidence in the safety of food and beverage products.
6. Oil and Gas: The oil and gas industry utilize water treatment chemicals for various purposes, including fracking, drilling, and production processes. NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification ensures that these chemicals meet health and environmental standards.
7. Recreational Facilities: Recreational facilities such as parks, campgrounds, and sports facilities often use water treatment systems for drinking water supplies and sanitation purposes. NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certified products are crucial for maintaining water quality in these environments.
What is NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 Certification?
NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 is an American National Standard that establishes the minimum health-effects requirements for the chemicals, chemical contaminants and impurities that are directly added to drinking water from drinking water treatment chemicals.
Certification ensures that these chemicals meet the safety standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
This standard does not establish performance or taste and odor requirements for drinking water treatment chemicals.
In North America, any organization that manufactures, sells, or distributes water treatment chemicals is required to comply with NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 minimum standard requirements. Certification is not a one-time process. Various aspects of a product, including raw materials, manufacturing processes, labeling, and more, require ongoing monitoring and testing to ensure continued safety and quality compliance. In addition to human health considerations, NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification also assesses the environmental impact of water treatment chemicals and systems. A joint committee comprised of public health experts, end users and industry members routinely monitored and update the standard.
Chemicals within the scope of this standard include:
- Corrosion and scale inhibitors
- Coagulants and flocculants
- Disinfection and oxidation chemicals
- Well-drilling aids
- pH adjustment, softening, precipitation and sequestering chemicals
- All other specialty chemicals used in drinking water treatment
What’s Important About NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 Certification?
NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification is crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water and wastewater treatment chemicals and systems. Understanding these aspects of NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification is essential for ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water treatment products and systems. Key points:
- Purpose: NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification evaluates the health effects of water treatment chemicals, including their potential to leach contaminants into drinking water.
- Standard Compliance: It ensures that these chemicals meet the safety standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
- Testing Criteria: The certification involves rigorous testing to assess factors such as potential health risks, chemical composition, corrosion potential, and overall performance.
- Regulatory Compliance: NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification is often required by regulatory bodies and government agencies for the approval of water treatment chemicals and systems.
- Consumer Confidence: Consumers can trust products with this certification to meet stringent safety and quality standards, providing peace of mind regarding the safety of their drinking water.
- Manufacturer Responsibility: Manufacturers of drinking water treatment chemicals and systems must adhere to the guidelines and requirements set forth by NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 to attain and maintain certification.
- Continuous Monitoring: Certification is not a one-time process; it requires ongoing monitoring and testing to ensure continued compliance with safety and quality standards.
- International Recognition: While primarily recognized in North America, NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification is also respected internationally, indicating a product’s adherence to high-quality standards.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: The certification process evaluates various aspects of a product, including raw materials, manufacturing processes, labeling, and more, to ensure comprehensive safety and quality assurance.
- Environmental Impact: In addition to human health considerations, NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification also assesses the environmental impact of drinking water treatment chemicals and systems.
