NSF Fact Sheet, see our NSF Listing by following the link. Products are only certified by NSF after an exhaustive 6 month test, backed up by satisfactory experience in the field, which requires amongst many requirements that there is to be no odour, even during overload testing, and the compost produced has to contain extremely low levels of faecal coliform. Only products certified and listed by NSF may bear the NSF mark, which is required by many regulatory bodies to prove that the unit does indeed meet the NSF standard. Sun-Mar products are alone in being able to bear the NSF mark as being certified for cottage and residential use. Sun Mar composting toilets, like everything we supply, require no septic tank or percolation area so using them avoids any septic tank inspections.
