Quality assurance reports structured for submission to U.S. and international regulatory agencies — independent validation that carries real weight in approvals.
Specialized focus on onsite and decentralized treatment applications — the growing sector that serves communities beyond the reach of traditional municipal infrastructure.
North American Testing was formed in 2006 by organizations seeking a dedicated, mid-western U.S. facility focused exclusively on water and wastewater treatment for onsite and decentralized applications. The goal was straightforward: bring rigorous, independent certification to a sector where regulatory trust isn't optional.
As the population continues to grow beyond the reach of traditional municipal sewers, clean water treatment technology becomes more critical. NAT is committed to the responsible evolution of that technology — providing manufacturers with the certification they need and regulators with the assurance they require.
"As the population continues to grow beyond the reach of traditional municipal sewers, providing clean and safe water becomes more important."
