TOTAL LUBRICANTS USA, INC. has obtained the ISO 21469 certification for its NEVASTANE Food Grade Lubricants production facility, in Linden, NJ, USA.

TOTAL LUBRICANTS is a leading manufacturer of high quality food grade lubricants under the brand name NEVASTANE, which are NSF H1 registered. As food safety is a top priority to its customers, the ISO 21469 certification gives them an additional proof that TOTAL LUBRICANTS is applying the highest hygiene standards to produce NEVASTANE Food Grade Lubricants.

To achieve this certification, TOTAL LUBRICANTS has chosen NSF, a leading independent and well known organization in the field of food grade lubricants, which already provides H1 product registration.

Compared to H1 registration program, the new ISO 21469 certification brings additional proof of safety. On top of formulation and label review, which is required to register a product as H1, ISO 21 469 certification requires the following:

  • Risk assessment, which ensures the manufacturer has identified and evaluated the relevant hazards associated to the manufacture and use of Food Grade Lubricants.
  • Production facility audit by a third party, to confirm that certification requirements are met and procedures followed.
  • Annual sampling and testing to verify the product composition complies with FDA approved ingredients.

Food manufacturers and their clients can be totally confident with NEVASTANE. For more information, visit www.nevastane.com or www.total-us.com
