Certification details: Frizzlife M800: Frizzlife states the M800-new is independently tested/certified by SGS against NSF/ANSI 58 and 372 and displays NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 58 and 372 in product marketing. An exact-model NSF, WQA or IAPMO listing was not independently verified, so these standards are treated as third-party testing evidence rather than formal NSF/WQA/IAPMO certification.   Waterdrop G5P500: Current Waterdrop G5P500 materials list IAPMO R&T certification to NSF/ANSI 372. Do not apply the G5P500A's NSF/ANSI 58 certification to the standard G5P500.
