"NSF, a leading testing and certification organization in the water industry, is proud to announce that PPI PIPE Co. Ltd. (“PPI PIPE”), a South Korean pipe manufacturer, has become the first company to add the NSF “+ PFAS Tested” designation to their existing NSF/ANSI/CAN 61: Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects and NSF/ANSI 14: Plastics Piping System Components and Related Materials certification for their PVC pipe and fittings. PPI PIPE achieved this milestone by passing NSF’s in-house testing for seven different PFAS compounds, including six that are EPA regulated.

NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 establishes minimum health effects requirements for the chemical contaminants and impurities that are indirectly imparted to drinking water from products, components and materials used in drinking water systems. The 2024 version of the standard features an expanded test battery for certain fluorinated materials that includes seven PFAS compounds, six of which are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA).

NSF/ANSI 14 establishes minimum physical, performance, health effects, quality assurance, marking and record-keeping requirements for plastic piping components and related materials."
