QualityPLUS™
The National Association of Pipe Fabricators is pleased to announce that NSF International now serves as the independent third party inspector for the NAPF QualityPlus!™ Certification Program. No other organization offers NSF’s breadth and thoroughness of product certification experience. NSF makes periodic inspections of participating members’ facilities to assure complete and total compliance with ANSI/AWWA C115/A21.15 “Flanged Ductile Iron Pipe with Ductile or Gray Iron threaded Flanges” and AWWA C606 “Grooved Ductile Iron Pipe”. This inspection program assures engineers, specification writers and owners alike that fabricated piping bearing the NAPF/NSF certification label has been produced to conform to the highest industry standards.
Unlike in-house self-certifications, the NAPF’s association with an independent third party certification organization, such as NSF has many advantages. First, and foremost, is the knowledge that those participating NAPF member companies not only meet but must exceed the requirements set forth in the above referenced standards. Secondly, each member must also adhere to additional stringent requirements adopted by the NAPF Standards Council.
There is No Substitute for Quality!
The addition of NSF to the NAPF QualityPlus!™ Certification team is your guarantee of quality products. For additional information regarding the NAPF QualityPlus!™ Certification Program and other specification options, email NAPF Headquarters at kay.napf@gmail.com or any member. Thank you!
