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 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.

NSF Registration No. 017205
