Certificate of Acceptability
Dear CRC® Valued Customer:
In 1998, the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service discontinued the testing of new and reformulated
proprietary substances and nonfood compounds intended for use in USDA inspected food-processing
facilities. In December of 1999, the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), a non-profit, third party
product certifier specializing in public health and safety, revived the USDA authorization program with
the launch of their own Registration and Listing Program for Proprietary Substances and Non-Food
Compounds. The NSF program is fee based and mirrors the previous USDA program evaluation for all
product categories. Once a product has successfully gone through the NSF approval process, it receives
a registration number. This registration number is listed on the label of the NSF registered product,
along with the registration mark and category code.
CRC products authorized by the USDA before 1998 Continue to meet USDA 1998 guidelines. Products
introduced or modified after January 1999 are submitted to the NSF authorization process and will carry
the new NSF registration upon approval.
This product is acceptable for use as a cleaner and degreaser for use in non food processing areas (K1),
which are used to remove oil, wax, resinous materials, or other substances not removable by using
acidic or alkaline cleaning agents. Their use is limited to non-processing areas where there is no
possibility of solvent vapors entering a processing area. Food processing equipment or utensils treated
with such preparations must be washed with an acceptable detergent solution and thoroughly rinsed
with potable water before returning to a processing area.
This product is acceptable for use as a solvent for cleaning electronic instruments and devices (K2),
which will not tolerate aqueous cleaning solutions in and around food processing areas, where its use is
not intended for direct food contact. Before using this compound, food products and packaging
materials must be removed from the area or carefully protected. This compound must be used in a
manner so that all odors associated with the compound are dissipated before food products or
packaging materials are re-exposed in the area.
