NSF/ANSI 383: General Requirements for Health Effects of Non-Metallic Materials for Plumbing Systems is a standard developed by NSF International (formerly the National Sanitation Foundation) in collaboration with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

While its more famous counterpart, NSF/ANSI 61 (Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects), covers a broad range of materials (including metals and plastics), NSF 383 focuses specifically and exclusively on non-metallic materials that are elastomeric, polymeric, or lubricant-based. nsfs 383

In short:

For decades, manufacturers tested their non-metallic parts under NSF/ANSI 61. However, regulators and public health officials noticed a gap. The extraction testing in NSF/ANSI 61 is rigorous, but the sheer variety of chemical additives in modern elastomers (e.g., vulcanizing agents, plasticizers, antioxidants, colorants) warranted a more focused and updated protocol.
