Performance and safety for municipal water systems

Though water treatment remains a critical part of water supply and distribution, the various components that move water through the process and out to commercial and residential buildings are important as well. UL Solutions works with the industry to understand needs, offer guidance, and help manufacturers and municipalities find success.

Municipal water supply and distribution component manufacturers must ensure their products do not leach contaminants into drinking water. In most U.S. states, these products must demonstrate compliance to the requirements of NSF/ANSI 61: Drinking Water System Components — Health Effects, and NSF/ANSI 372: Drinking Water System Components — Lead Content. Water treatment chemicals must comply with NSF/ANSI 60: Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals — Health Effects. UL Solutions can also evaluate products and components for electrical and mechanical safety and the security of connected technology to support comprehensive safety and performance. Our experience working with industry associations and local authorities provides us with a firm, updated understanding of industry needs and can help manufacturers pursue certification for complete systems.

Infrastructure in many locations is approaching end of life, and considerable investments are being made to identify, replace and repair aging equipment, in some cases with new, innovative products. UL Solutions can help ensure compliance and help you differentiate by evaluating product reliability, verifying your marketing claims, and benchmark your products against the competition. Establishing the performance of your products through independent testing demonstrates your commitment to reliability and helps you build trust and respect in the market.
