What is the NSF/ANSI 456
Vaccine Storage Standard?
Why is the NSF/ANSI 456
Vaccine Storage Standard
being developed?
Will all vaccine refrigerators
and freezers need to meet the
standard? Is it mandatory or
voluntary?
Do my current refrigerators
and freezers meet the new
standard?
What are the product
features and performance
requirements included in the
new standard?
Will American BioTech Supply
products meet the standard?
What is American BioTech
Supply doing to prepare for
the new standard?
The NSF/ANSI 456 vaccine storage standard seeks to define the construction and
performance characteristics of refrigerators and freezers to further enhance vaccine
cold storage.
The standard was developed to normalize performance expectations and to allow the
CDC a reference standard for user inquiries.
The NSF/ANSI 456 vaccine storage standard is specifically a voluntary standard, there
is no timeline for adoption or governance of compliance. It will not be required by any
governing body that vaccines be stored in NSF/ANSI 456 Certified units. The CDC Toolkit
remains the gold standard for vaccine storage governance.
Current purpose-built systems may meet the requirements. A central goal of the
standard is to delineate acceptable performance from performance typical in “dorm”
style and home use refrigerators and freezers.
The new standard covers construction details, controller requirements and
temperature variation. During testing, temperature is monitored using vaccine
simulator ballast devices and must maintain specific temperature ranges at steady state
and through short door openings.
Yes, American BioTech Supply has designed new compliant products and is in the
process of testing specific cold storage units with an independent third-party agency.
American BioTech Supply is a member of the NSF/ANSI 456 committee designing the
new standard. Our input into the committee will help the new standard be adopted for
use by the CDC and vaccine manufacturers and fill industry gaps in performance.
It is important to note that this new NSF/ANSI 456 vaccine storage standard does not necessarily meet specific “vaccine manufacturers”
storage specifications. It is critical that the “vaccine manufacturers” requirements are followed, regardless of the NSF/ANSI 456 Certification.
