Bob Ferguson, vice president, National Sanitation Foundation Water Systems Programs, said: "By working with NSF to develop the first, comprehensive protocol for hand dryers, Dyson has demonstrated the commitment of a true leader.

Hand dryers that meet all protocol requirements will bear the NSF Mark."
