Build America, Buy America (BABA) Certification
Q: Are LifeStraw products BABA certified?
A: Our 7-cup and 10-cup pitchers, as well as all LifeStraw Dispensers, are certified to meet Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements. We are also able to claim BABA compliance for the LifeStraw Escape product.
Q: What is BABA certification?
A: BABA stands for Build America, Buy America. It is a federal standard that requires a certain percentage of a product’s components to be made in the United States. Many federally funded projects require BABA-certified products.
Q: Why does this matter for buyers?
A: BABA certification means our products can be purchased for projects funded by federal programs, including Lead Service Line Replacement initiatives and other infrastructure efforts that require BABA compliance.
Q: How can I get proof of certification?
A: Please contact your LifeStraw sales representative or our customer experience team to receive a copy of our signed BABA certification.
