Samsung says its refrigerators take one of three filters, HAF-CIN, HAF-QIN or HAFCU1, and that the model number printed on the filter now in the fridge tells you which one you need. (Samsung US support: How to replace the water filter in a Samsung refrigerator, read 2026-10-08.) Match that number, not the look of the cartridge.
Is it certified? What the listing says
The Samsung HAFCU1 (DA29-00003G) and the certified replacements below, from the certifiers' public listings. A ✓ under Lead claim means the NSF/ANSI 53 claim set names lead reduction; NSF/ANSI 401 is never read as a PFAS claim.

HAFCU1: NSF lists the DA97-06317A system with the DA29-00003G cartridge (trade name HAFIN2/EXP) under NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 401 at 300 gallons. Samsung's HAFCU1 page names the same system and cartridge. The NSF/ANSI 53 claim set names lead and mercury reduction. No claim set names PFOA or PFOS.

What the maker states: Samsung's page lists NSF 42 (chlorine, taste and odour) and NSF 53 (cysts, turbidity, lead, asbestos, benzene, carbofuran, p-dichlorobenzene and mercury). (Samsung Canada, HAFCU1/XAA product page, read 2026-10-08.) A maker's statement is not a listing; the table above follows the listing.
Waterdrop: NSF lists these under Qingdao Ecopure Filter Co. as Waterdrop EFF-6011S (NSF listing, Qingdao Ecopure Filter (Waterdrop), read 2026-10-08). Waterdrop's plain WD-F11 is listed for NSF/ANSI 42 only. The WDS and WDP versions carry the NSF/ANSI 53 lead claim. Read the letters before WD on the box. A model with no Amazon link here is one we have not matched to an Amazon listing.
Genuine, certified replacement, or fake?
NSF's listing for Samsung Electronics shows the genuine part as DA97-06317A, sold as HAFIN2/EXP DA29-00003G. A filter that copies the HAFCU1 shape and prints "NSF certified" is only certified if its own model number is in a certifier's listing. Search the listing for the number on the filter, not the logo on the box. A certified replacement is not a counterfeit; an unlisted one is an unknown at any price. How counterfeits are caught and what to check: fake refrigerator water filters.
