The Ingredients of the NSF ISO 21469 Lubricant Standard Specifically, NSF H1 accreditation indicates the specific lubricant is acceptable for incidental food contact and can be used in food processing areas.
What is NSF H1 certification?
An H1 registration from NSF verifies that your product is suitable to use in applications where incidental contact could occur between the lubricant and food during normal operations. Registrations evaluate chemical risks by reviewing product formulations and labels.
What is a H1 lubricant?
H1 lubricants are food grade lubricants used in the food and beverage industry. In this area, very special requirements are placed on the lubricating oils and greases used. In the manufacturing process of food and beverages, contact with the lubricants used can often not be avoided from a technical point of view.
What is the difference between the food grade lubricant classifications H1 H2 and H3?
Usually, when people refer to “food-grade” lubricants, they mean H1 lubricants. H2 lubricants can be used in food-processing facilities, but only where there is absolutely no possibility of contact with food. H3 lubricants are typically used to clean and prevent rust on hooks, trolleys and other such equipment.
Is NSF a food grade?
NSF International is the most recognized food safety standards organization. The FDA does not provide government inspection and certification of materials used for food contact applications.
Is NSF H2 food grade?
H2 lubricants are considered to be food grade, but are not specifically food safe products. H2-specific lubricants are for machinery that doesn’t come in direct contact with food, such as a forklift. It is used in areas where there is no possibility of direct contact with food, beverages or pharmaceutical products.
What is H1 rating?
H1 lubricants are food-grade lubricants used in food-processing environments where there is the possibility of incidental food contact. H3 lubricants are food-grade lubricants, typically edible oils, used to prevent rust on hooks, trolleys and similar equipment.
Are NSF H1 lubricants allergen free?
Sprayon’s line of NSF H1-rated lubricants are suitable for confectionery production and other food processing applications. The line includes 12 allergen-free lubricants engineered to withstand heavy load pressures, resist water washout, offer low flammability ratings, and endure very high and low temperatures.
What is the difference between NSF H1 and H2?
H1 lubricants are food-grade lubricants used in food-processing environments where there is the possibility of incidental food contact. H2 lubricants are food-grade lubricants used on equipment and machine parts in locations where there is no possibility of contact.
Is Vaseline a food grade lubricant?
Viscous lubricant and preservative. In view of the unique formula, suitable for use in the food industry, in accordance with NSF registration H1, number 139225. Vaseline is water-repellent, has excellent adhesion and prevents wear and sticking.
Is NSF Food Safe?
What are the NSF standards?
NSF/ANSI 51 establishes minimum public health and sanitation requirements for materials and finishes used in the manufacture of commercial foodservice equipment (such as broilers, beverage dispensers, cutting boards and stock pots) and its components (such as tubing, sealants, gaskets and valves).
What is NSF H1 registration?
An H1 registration from NSF verifies that your product is suitable to use in applications where incidental contact could occur between the lubricant and food during normal operations. Registrations evaluate chemical risks by reviewing product formulations and labels. In addition to H1 food-grade lubricants, we also register:
Can You Have Your Cake and the NSF® H1 rating?
NOW YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE AND THE NSF® H1 RATING, TOO. For years, the Food Processing Industry was limited in its choice of lubricants. Many of the raw materials that make conventional industrial lubricants so effective are not permissible in food applications.
