Is PUR NSF certified?

Last reviewed July 2026.

Yes. PUR filters are listed by NSF against NSF/ANSI standards including 53 — the health-effects standard that covers lead — so the lead claim is one you can actually verify in a public listing.

What the listing actually says

PPF951K1: Listed with NSF to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53; PUR also cites WQA certification for its lead claim. PUR is the most extensively NSF-listed pitcher brand in the database.

What those standard numbers mean

• NSF/ANSI 42 — aesthetic effects (chlorine, taste and odour). Not a health claim.
• NSF/ANSI 53 — health effects. This is the standard that covers lead.
• NSF/ANSI 401 — emerging contaminants: PFOA/PFOS, pharmaceuticals, microplastics.

Verify it yourself: every PUR row above links the certifier's own listing. If a number here disagrees with the listing, the listing wins — tell us and we'll fix it.
