The opinions and findings of NSF represent its professional judgment. NSF shall not be responsible to anyone for the use of or reliance upon this standard by anyone. NsF shall not incur any obligation or liability for damages, including consequential damages, arising out of or in connection with the use, interpretation of, or reliance upon this standard. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to judge the suitability of the ANs for the user's purpose. Participation in NsF standards development activities by regulatory agency representatives (federal, state, or local) shall not constitute their agency's endorsement of NsF or any of its standards. Preference is given to the use of performance criteria measurable by examination or testing in NsF standards development when such performance criteria may reasonably be used in lieu of design, materials, or construction criteria. A dual-unit technical standard may use both non-Sl (English System of Measurement) and Sl units of measure (sl is the International System of Units, commonly known as the metric system). Unless stated otherwise, whichever system provided in the primary position is the official and normative unit value. Units may be provided in parentheses immediately following the primary units when required for clarity or informational purposes. As such, these values stated are not interchangeable, should be regarded separately, and used independently. Interchanging values from both unit systems may result in errors. The illustrations, if provided, are intended to assist in understanding their adjacent standard requirements. However, the illustrations may not include all requirements for a specific product or unit, nor do they show the only method of fabricating such arrangements. Such partial drawings shall not be use
