NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) announces that it's the first manufacturer to have its TPMS sensors registered with NSF^® International, a leading independent, accredited organization that tests and verifies the functionality of products and systems.

NSF^® TPMS registration provides third-party assurance to consumers, shops, and insurance companies that SMP's aftermarket TPMS sensors meet all applicable federal requirements and will fit and function properly in a manner equivalent to the OE sensor on the vehicle(s) intended for use.

Standard Motor Products is the first manufacturer to have its TPMS sensors registered with NSF International.

Functionality and performance testing including accurate location reporting, sensor accuracy, low pressure warning repeatability and sensor ID write testing for sensors with COPY ID capabilities.
Compliance with Code of Federal Regulations Title 47 Part 15 "Radio Frequency Devices."

In addition to being listed on NSF^® International's website, SMP's NSF^® Registered TPMS Sensors will appear in Tiremetrix's TPMS Manager^®, a software that helps shops identify high-quality sensors.
