ANN ARBOR, Mich. — NSF International acquired the laboratory section of Jana Laboratories Inc., an engineering consulting and laboratory testing firm serving the global water and plastic pipe industries, according to a press release.

Jana Laboratories’ 14-person laboratory staff and 20,000-square-foot laboratory in Aurora, Ontario, will be retitled as NSF Janalab, becoming part of NSF’s global network of ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories throughout North and South America, Asia and Europe, stated the release.

Gaining Jana Laboratories expands NSF’s pipe testing capabilities, making them the largest provider of oxidative resistance stress testing in the world and the largest provider of hydrostatic performance stress testing in North America, reported the release.
