Earth Shield® PVC Waterstop Achieves NSF 61 Certification

Certification to NSF/ANSI 61 demonstrates compliance with nationally-recognized 
health effects standard for all drinking water treatment chemicals.

J P Specialties, Inc. has earned certification to NSF/ANSI 61, the American National Standard for Drinking Water Treatment Components – Health Effects for its Earth Shield® PVC Waterstop from global public health organization NSF International. 

Government agencies around the world utilize NSF International standards to verify the safety and performance of water treatment chemicals, pipes, and plumbing components and to ensure these products do not leach harmful levels of contaminants into drinking water. 

To earn NSF/ANSI 61 certification, J P Specialties’ Earth Shield® PVC Waterstop was subject to rigorous testing and evaluation to verify the product met requirements for use in drinking water. NSF International also audited J P Specialties’ manufacturing facility to verify compliance with the standard requirements.
