What certifications are listed for these systems?
APEC ROES-50: APEC identifies the ROES-50 as a WQA Gold Seal Certified system. Exact-model certification evidence supports NSF/ANSI 58 for TDS reduction and NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 for lead-content/material compliance. Broader contaminant reduction claims remain manufacturer claims unless separately verified for this exact model. 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.
