NSF International Automotive Parts Program Launches New Certification for Fender Liners


Great Bestcam’s Fender Liners First to Earn NSF Certification

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – NSF International, a global organization with more than 70 years of independent certification expertise, including products in the automotive supply chain, has certified Great Bestcam’s (GBC) fender liners under the NSF Automotive Parts Certification Program. Great Bestcam’s GBC fender liners have met the stringent quality and performance standards through rigorous facility audits and parts testing and can use the NSF mark on the liners.

To earn certification, GBC fender liners were independently reviewed and tested by NSF International engineers to certify equivalency in form, fit and function with the original equipment (OE) service parts. Additionally, GBC’s manufacturing facilities and processes will be audited four times a year to confirm they continue to meet NSF and ISO 9001 quality certification requirements and they will receive on-going in-market testing to certify their continued compliance.

Consumers and collision repair shops benefit from a competitive marketplace with affordable options for more certified high quality parts that come with a limited lifetime warranty. Also, using cost-effective alternative parts can reduce the number of vehicles that are totaled based on part repair cost. Collision repair shops benefit because NSF certified parts are fit tested in vehicles to ensure they fit the first time, reducing time spent on repairs.

For meeting all certification requirements, GBC’s certified fender liners are authorized to display the NSF Mark and are listed on NSF’s certification listings webpage.

In addition to fender liners, the NSF Automotive Parts Certification Program certifies additional plastic components, bumper fascias, sheet metal components, steel bumpers, step bumpers, brackets, reinforcement bars (rebars), lighting and absorbers.
