New Delhi [India], December 13: NSF, a leading testing and certification organization in the water industry, is proud to announce that Aliaxis Utilities and Industry Private Limited (“Aliaxis”) has earned NSF certification to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61: Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects for its Polyethylene (PE) Fittings. Aliaxis is NSF’s first client in India to receive this certification for the PE Fittings.
Aliaxis is a global leader in advanced piping systems for building, infrastructure, industrial, and agriculture applications. The company provides sustainable, innovative solutions for water and energy to communities worldwide.

NSF/ANSI/CAN 61: Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects is an American and Canadian National Standard. The standard establishes minimum health effects requirements for the chemical contaminants and impurities that are indirectly imparted to drinking water from products, components and materials used in drinking water systems.
To earn NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 certification, Aliaxis’ PE Fittings underwent rigorous testing and technical review by NSF to verify it meets the requirements of this standard. This certification verifies the suitability of the fittings for use in a water distribution system. Additionally, NSF audited Aliaxis’ manufacturing facility to verify compliance to the standard’s requirements.
NSF’s certification program is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). Companies worldwide strive to earn certification to this standard, as it is a globally recognized sign of product quality.
“NSF is pleased to certify Aliaxis’ PE Fittings to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61,” said Jyoti Bhasin, Managing Director of APAC, NSF. “Ensuring that products used in the water distribution system do not leach harmful levels of contaminants is imperative to provide clean and safe drinking water.
