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 carry the new NSF registration upon approval.
The following product is acceptable as a lubricant where there is no possibility of food
contact (H2) in and around food processing areas. Such compounds may be used as
lubricants, release agents, or antirust films on equipment and machine parts in locations in
which there is no possibility of the lubricant or lubricated part contacting edible products.
03056 – CRC® Heavy Duty Clear Penetrating Grease
Category Code H2
NSF Registration No. 145908
