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
29、a consensus process. In addition, it does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to the Standard. viii Issue 60 This ballot updated NSF/ANSI 173 to replace the term “raw material” with either “component”, “components, including dietary ingredients”, or “dietary ingredient” as appropriate
30、. NSF offers a certification program to this Standard. Products certified by NSF carry the NSF Mark, the leading mark in public health and safety certification around the world.

33、dard for Dietary Supplements Dietary supplements 1 General 1.1 Purpose This Standard provides test methods and evaluation criteria for dietary supplement products to allow for the determination that the ingredients in the product are accurately identified, that the product contains the quantity of d
34、ietary ingredients and marker constituents declared on the product label, and that the product does not contain unacceptable quantities of contaminants. This Standard provides criteria for determining that Good Manufacturing Practices were followed in the production of dietary supplements. 1.2 Scope
35、 This Standard contains requirements for dietary supplements that contain one or more of the following dietary ingredients: a vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an amino acid, a dietary substance for use by humans to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake, or a conce
36、ntrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combinations of these ingredients. Products and ingredients deemed a hazard to public health or safety by a regulatory agency having jurisdiction shall be excluded from the scope of this document. Conventional foods are excluded from the scope of this Sta
37、ndard. Manufacturers shall exercise due diligence to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements, but compliance with this Standard in itself does not imply that all regulatory requirements have been met. 1.3 Formulation submission The manufacturer shall submit, at a minimum, the f
38、ollowing information for each product: complete formulation information, which includes the following: the composition of the formulation (in percent or parts by weight for each ingredient in the formulation including excipients); NOTE Ranges shall be considered acceptable. the reaction process, if
39、applicable; the component ID number (if applicable), chemical/material name, trade name and supplier(s) for each chemical present in the formulation; a list of known or suspected impurities associated with the finished product; and 2016 NSF NSF/ANSI 173 2016 2 when available, an analytical method us
