The NSF Passport Program: Your Access to Global Market Approvals™
Global Challenges
The growing world economy provides manufacturers opportunities to expand into new global
markets. For water treatment, distribution and plumbing products, manufacturers often must meet
multiple rigid and complex requirements in order to sell and compete in major markets. Additionally,
international regulations and certifications can vary greatly between countries. Navigating the
certification path and approval process in each country requires a trusted source, comprehensive
regulation knowledge and persistence.
Why not rely on the market access experts, NSF International, to manage your international
approvals? The NSF Passport Program: Your Access to Global Market Approvals™ is the clear solution
to the murky world of international product conformity.

services to help you achieve your global
expansion goals, and is still growing to meet
your needs. Let us know what you have

F irst Class Service Del ivery
As your single-stop resource for global market
access, NSF has completed extensive groundwork
that paves the way for entrance into multiple
markets. And while the end result is the same, the
methods of obtaining approvals will often vary
depending on country requirements. We help you
gain approvals in three primary ways:
NSF Standards Acceptance – NSF/ANSI Standards are accepted in many countries because
we have worked with those governments to gain adoption.
Direct Certification – NSF, an accredited certification body, issues the certification and
mark(s) directly, in addition to conducting the testing and auditing. In these cases NSF
handles it all in-house on an expedited timeline.
NSF Partners – NSF coordinates your approval via strong alliances and partnerships with
specific laboratories and other agencies around the world. This allows you to continue
working with your trusted provider – NSF – and let us handle the approval on your behalf.
