NSF International, a global not-for-profit public health and safety organisation, has opened its new NSF Shanghai Testing Laboratory in Shanghai, China, expanding its services in Asia to include testing in the areas of food equipment, dietary supplements and ingredients, and consumer products. Additionally, the facility and staff will provide on-site training in the areas of food safety, pharmaceutical, medical device and dietary supplement manufacturing.
The NSF Shanghai Testing Laboratory (full name NSF Shanghai Testing Technology Company) will complement NSF’s existing certification services in China and provide companies with a means to source safer products, raw materials and ingredients from Asia through independent, third-party testing and certification.
The NSF Shanghai Testing Laboratory will work in harmony with NSF Shanghai

Manufacturers and suppliers in China require independent system registration and product certification in order to access international markets. NSF helps companies navigate the global marketplace and bridge Western companies with the Asia market. The new NSF Shanghai Testing lab will provide testing capabilities that can then be used by the NSF Shanghai Co, Ltd joint venture to support product certification for companies in China making food equipment, dietary supplements and other consumer products. This certification helps companies streamline the import/export process. The NSF Shanghai Co, Ltd joint venture also offers management
systems certifications, and global food safety certification.
“NSF International is pleased to bring its testing and technology services to China and Asia. The combination of Asia’s growing export market and the need to ensure the safety and quality of raw materials, ingredients, consumer products and food creates a greater demand for third-party testing and certification services from a reputable organisation like NSF International,” said Lori Bestervelt, PhD, NSF International Senior Vice President and Chief Technical Officer.
“The opening of the NSF Shanghai Testing Laboratory will help companies in Asia ensure the quality of their materials, demonstrate compliance with international public health standards, and conserve resources by eliminating the need to ship product to the US for testing.”
