18、and safety for more than 55 years. NSF Standard 177 is an excellent example of the unique service NSF provides affected stakeholders.The purpose of this Standard is to establish minimum requirements for materials, design, construction, and performance of shower filtration systems that are designed t

19、o reduce aesthetic free available chlorine in public or private water supplies. This Standard specifies the minimum product literature and labeling information that a manufacturer is required to supply authorized representatives and system owners. This Standard provides minimum service-related oblig

20、ations that the manufacturer supplies to system owners.This Standard was developed by the NSF Joint Committee on Drinking Water Treatment Units using the consensus process described by the American National Standards Institute.This edition of the Standard includes the addition of the reference to NS

21、F/ANSI 330 - Glossary of DrinkingWater Treatment Unit Terminology under section 2, and the removal of the definitions under section 3.NSF offers a certification program to NSF/ANSI Standard 177. Products certified by NSF carry the NSF Mark, one of the most respected certification marks in the world.

22、 The NSF Mark on a product gives consumers and retailers assurance that the product has been tested and meets the requirements of the NSF Standard.

T

27、his Standard also specifies the minimum product literature and labeling information that a manufacturer shall supply to authorized representatives and system owners. 1.2 ScopeThe point-of-use shower filtration systems addressed by this Standard are designed to be used for the reduction of specific s

28、ubstances that may be present in potable water (public or private). Systems covered under this Standard are intended to reduce substances affecting the aesthetic quality of the water. Only whole systems shall be evaluated under this Standard. Systems with components or functions covered under other

29、NSF or NSF/ANSI standards or criteria shall comply with those applicable requirements.1.3 Minimum requirementsThis Standard establishes minimum requirements. Some requirements may be waived if it is verified that the candidate system or component is sufficiently similar to a tested system or compone
