    LDW NSF 419

    Uploaded by

    The document summarizes the NSF/ANSI 419 standard, which establishes requirements for evaluating the performance of public drinking water equipment. It provides requirements referenced in rules like the LT2ESWTR to allow manufacturers to prove Cryptosporidium reduction. The standard was developed by NSF to continue third-party evaluation of this equipment after the EPA's ETV program ended. Certification to the standard involves application, developing a custom test plan, validation testing, an on-site audit, and annual certification.

    NSF/ANSI 419

    TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
    NSF/ANSI 419 is the American National Standard that establishes requirements for the
    performance of public drinking water equipment. The need for an official standard arose after
    the U.S. EPA’s Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program ended in 2014. Up to that point,
    the ETV program had verified the safety and performance of public drinking water equipment.

    THE EVOLUTION OF THE STANDARD


    To provide manufacturers with a way to continue maintaining third-party evaluation of their public drinking water
    equipment, NSF converted the existing ETV membrane protocol into an NSF/ANSI standard. NSF/ANSI 419 was
    published in January 2015 after review by a committee with equal representation of manufacturers, regulators and
    end users.

    The standard includes requirements found in the U.S. EPA’s Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
    (LT2ESWTR), which allows manufacturers to prove Cryptosporidium reduction.

    While the standard includes requirements referencing well established rules and methods like the LT2ESWTR, it
    also includes additional requirements for safety, including optional evaluation of microfiltration and ultrafiltration
    modules for virus reduction, which allows manufacturers to further prove the quality of their product.

    PRODUCTS COVERED UNDER


    THE SCOPE OF NSF/ANSI 419
    The scope of this standard applies to equipment used in the treatment or production
    of drinking water in EPA-defined public water supplies, such as:

    Microfiltration modules

    Ultrafiltration modules

    Bag and cartridge filters


    WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN
    GETTING CERTIFIED TO NSF/ANSI 419
    When you’re ready to become certified, NSF makes it easy by breaking the process up into six simple steps:

    annually).

    TESTING UNDER NSF/ANSI 419


    Testing under NSF/ANSI 419 includes evaluation of material safety according to NSF/ANSI 61: Drinking Water
    System Components – Health Effects, plus evaluation of Cryptosporidium reduction using test methodologies and
    surrogates that are appropriate to the technologies being evaluated.

    Bag and cartridge systems:


    >> Two units challenged with polystyrene microspheres at the maximum designed flow rate

    Microfiltration and ultrafiltration modules:


    >> Five modules challenged with Bacillus atrophaeus endospores as a surrogate for Cryptosporidium
    >> Virus-specific challenge testing using MS2 coliphages
    >> Membrane integrity tests performed before and after each test to determine a quality control
    release value

    WHY CHOOSE NSF?


    NSF worked closely with the U.S. EPA to host the ETV Program Drinking Water Systems Center before NSF/ANSI
    419 was created. Our staff, along with other industry experts, led the way in developing the standard, so we have
    the most knowledge of its application.

    Additionally, when you work with us, you can always expect:

    >> Dedicated account managers, giving you a single point of contact


    >> Use of the NSF mark, which is well-known globally
    >> Expert technical staff who ensure your product is evaluated accurately

    advantage, nor is it linked in any way to the granting of certification. LDW-1040-1119
