20、zing dietary supplements. Certification to this Standard serves as a communication tool between manufacturers of ingredients and finished product, retailers, healthcare practitioners, and consumers. This Standard provides test methods and evaluation criteria to allow for the determination that a die

21、tary supplement contains the ingredients claimed on the label, either qualitatively or quantitatively, and that it does not contain specific undeclared contaminants. In some instances, validated laboratory methods are not yet available for analyzing certain ingredients. In such cases, new methods wi

22、ll be added to this Standard as they become available. NSF/ANSI 173 was developed with participation from the dietary supplements industry, public health regulators, and distributors of dietary supplements. Participation and technical guidance was provided by representatives of the American Herbal P

23、roducts Association, the American Pharmaceutical Association, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, the Council for Responsible Nutrition, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Nutritional Foods Association. This edition of the Standard (NSF/ANSI 173-2016) includes the followin

24、g revisions, which allow NSF International increased flexibility in selecting finished product claims for analysis based on the number of finished product claims and ingredients present on the product label. Issue 49 This ballot revised language in 5.3.1.1 to provide transparency to manufacturers (i

25、.e. purchasers of raw materials) and consistency between raw material evaluations and finished product evaluations. Issue 50 This ballot added new language that required a prescribed protein method for measuring and subtracting non-protein nitrogen sources as well as free amino acids from the protei

26、n result. Issue 51 This ballot added language specifying maximum caffeine levels per serving. Issue 54 This ballot is added new language that exempted probiotic products from the required Total Aerobic Microbial Count and Total Combined Yeast Mold Count due to the nature of the product. Issue 57 Thi

27、s ballot revised the way that NSF/ANSI 173 addresses the oil rancidity requirement by removing the oil rancidity requirement from testing verification section (NSF/ANSI 173, Section 5-7) and shifting it to the Good Manufacturing Practices Section 8. Issue 58 This ballot created a more current list o

28、f pesticides for NSF/ANSI 173. 2 The information contained in this Foreword is not part of this American National Standard (ANS) and has not been processed in accordance with ANSIs requirements for an ANS. Therefore, this Foreword may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or
