Leveraging Your NSF Certification: Now that you've received NSF Certification ... why not leverage the Mark to your advantage.
Manufacturers, suppliers, architects, designers, and government procurement now have a U. S. national standard for the production of sustainable commercial resilient flooring: NSF/ANSI 332. This standard addresses environmental performance and sustainability attributes of products and provides a means to track incremental changes to the products' sustainability profile. The standard is intended to provide a consistent framework in which to compare and assess the sustainable nature of different products within the context of performing similar functions. The standard is applicable to products manufactured in one facility or multiple facilities, one country or multiple countries.
The standard for resilient floor coverings has been designed, in part, to satisfy the following criteria:
The NSF 332 Standard utilizes a point-based system in which manufacturers may achieve one of four increasingly rigorous levels of certification: conformant, silver, gold, and platinum. The standard includes prerequisite requirements as well as performance requirements and quantifiable metrics in five key areas:
As a U. S. national standard, certification to NSF 332 offers buyers the highest level of confidence and credibility in a market awash with green claims.
