KATADYN GROUP｜Military & Professional Procurement Information
KATADYN Military & Professional Water Treatment Equipment NSN Cross-Reference Data
From manual desalinators for life rafts, individual and group water filtration equipment, to squad-level water generation systems and stationary desalination units, many KATADYN GROUP products or specific specification versions have NSN records. This page compiles representative equipment, corresponding numbers, and verification methods for military, government agencies, and professional procurement to facilitate item identification and specification communication.
First, clarify what NSN stands for.
Item identification in the NATO Codification System
An NSN is a 13-digit supply identification code used by the NATO Codification System to identify specific items, assisting various countries with procurement, inventory, spare parts, and logistics communication.
Numbers correspond to specific specification versions
The same product family may have different NSNs due to country, materials, packaging, voltage, or project configuration.
Not equivalent to military specification certification
An NSN is not a performance certification, nor does it mean that all NATO member states use it; model and technical documents still need to be verified.
External links on this page prioritize official sources. Go to the U.S. DLA PUB LOG or NATO Codification Official Portal. Official systems may require downloading, logging in, or entering a number to search.

Procurement and Specification Confirmation Reminders
- NSNs should be cross-referenced with product part numbers, manufacturer CAGE/NCAGE, packaging content, and technical documents.
- Historical NSNs may correspond to discontinued, substitute, or customized versions, and do not imply that current retail products are directly interchangeable.
- Water source type, treatment capacity, power, transportation, spare parts, shelf life, and training still need to be confirmed based on actual mission requirements.
- Formal bids, acceptance, or specifications should be based on the latest original manufacturer documents, project confirmation, and procuring agency requirements.
Let us assist in confirming mission and procurement needs.
To confirm current models, specific NSN specification versions, original manufacturer documents, or customized supply content, please provide the using unit, mission scenario, water source, quantity, and estimated delivery date. KATADYN Taiwan will assist with subsequent confirmation.
