21、e purpose of this Standard is to establish minimum requirements for materials, design and construction, and performance of point-of-use reverse osmosis drinking water treatment systems. NSF/ANSI 58 also specifies minimum product literature requirements that manufacturers must provide to authorized r

22、epresentatives and owners. Minimum service related obligations for manufacturers to extend to system owners are also specified in this Standard. Water contact materials in Drinking Water Treatment Units listed under NSF/ANSI 42, 44, 53, 55, 58, and 62 are tested and evaluated under a separate protoc

23、ol from NSF/ANSI 61 with criteria that were developed specifically for the intended end-use. NSF/ANSI 61 listing should not be additionally required for acceptance of these listed units for water contact application. This edition of the Standard contains the following revisions: Issue 72 The nitrate

24、 claims under section 8 were revised to the actual test pressure used. Issue 76 CAS numbers were added to Table 4.1 (previously Table 1) of the materials evaluation criteria. Issue 77 This revision added language to state that systems be conditioned using the test water with the specified contaminan

30、ance of reverse osmosis drinking water treatment systems. This Standard also specifies the minimum product literature that manufacturers shall supply to authorized representatives and owners, as well as the minimum service-related obligations that manufacturers shall extend to system owners. 1.2 Sco

31、pe The point-of-use reverse osmosis drinking water treatment systems addressed by this Standard are designed to be used for the reduction of specific substances that may be present in drinking water supplies (public or private) considered to be microbiologically safe and of known quality (except tha

32、t claims for the reduction of filterable cysts may be permitted). Systems covered by this Standard are intended for reduction of total dissolved solids (TDS) and other contaminants specified herein. Systems with components or functions covered under other NSF or NSF/ANSI Standards or Criteria shall

33、conform to the applicable requirements therein. 1.3 Chemical and mechanical reduction performance claims 1.3.1 All NSF/ANSI 58 performance claims shall be verified and substantiated by test data generated under the requirements of NSF/ANSI 58. 1.3.2 When performance claims are made for substances no

34、t specifically addressed in the scope of this Standard or for those substances not specifically addressed but falling under the scope of NSF/ANSI 58, claims not specifically addressed in the Standard shall be so identified. 1.4 Treatment train A system that contains multiple, sequential treatment te

35、chnologies for a performance claim under this Standard shall meet the applicable requirements as described in Annex E. 2 Normative references The following documents contain provisions that constitute requirements of this Standard. At the time of publication, the indicated editions were valid. All s

Additional TIC identification and quantitation should be verified using a standard of the compound in question or an alternate approved analytical method. Additional TIC identification and quantitation is recommended wh

46、en the contaminant is a health risk or when the “Probability Based Matching” process in section 4.5.1.2 is inconclusive. When possible, the product manufacturer should assist and support the testing laboratory in the identification of a standard for the compound and an appropriate analytical method,

47、 if applicable, so that confirmatory identification and quantification can be performed. If a standard and an adequate alternative analytical method are not available to verify the identification and quantitation of the compound, the TIC shall be evaluated according to section 4.5.1.2. NOTE Manufact

48、urers may not be privy to formulation information, so they may not be able to assist a testing laboratory to identify a standard for the compound that extracted. Refer to Section 4.5.1.2 when the manufacturer does not have material formulation information. 4.1.1.3 Unknown contaminants detected by GC

49、/MS analysis for which identification is unable to be made after performing the steps in 4.5.1 shall be reported in accordance to 4.1.2.2. 4.1.1.4 Whole-system or component assembly extraction testing may be waived if components, when separately tested, meet the requirements of this Standard and are assembled in a manner that does not introduce any new components or materials, increase the surface area-to-volume ratio of previously evaluated components, or present potential concern based on cumulative factors.
