REVIEWERS COMMENTS NOT ADDRESSED IN PROTOCOL 10 May 7. 1997 Copyright O 1997 NSF International Page iii 1 .I 1.2 1.3 1.4 NSF PROTOCOL PI49 OVEN MITTS USED IN COMMERCIAL FOOD SERVICE SECTION 1. GENERAL BACKGROUND: Personal protective apparel is an important component of all food servic

9、e operations. Oven mitts provide the primary protection against heat, hot liquids, steam and direct flame for many food service workers. Oven mitts are currently used in many applications including handling of items in or on ovens, stoves, broilers, deep fryers, dishwashers, and steamers. These diff

10、erent applications have been categorized for the purpose of this protocol into two classes: Class I Oven Mitts for general usage, and Class II Oven Mitts for more extreme conditions. Class I Oven Mitts are intended for use in handling pans, racks, and handles associated with ovens and microwaves, as

11、 well as hot liquid/vapor applications such as handling of racks in dishwashers and steamers, or in situations in which hot liquids may be spilled or splattered onto the mitts. Class II Oven Mitts must provide the same protection as Class I mitts, plus possess additional qualities which allow handin

12、g of items in contact with direct flame, including situations found in broilers, or other open grill applications. This protocol establishes methods and criteria to evaluate commercial oven mitt performance in these applications, with additional requirements for product durability and cleanability.

13、SCOPE: This protocol addresses the heat resistance, wet and dry thermal protective performance, flame resistance, durability and cleanability aspects of oven mitts intended for use in commercial food service applications. PURPOSE: This protocol shall be used to generate data for evaluation of the te

14、st product and in substantiation of the following Protocol Certification of NSF Class I and Class II Oven Mitts: Oven Mitts used in Commercial Food Service - Class I Mitt Oven Mitts used in Commercial Food Service - Class II Mitt REVERIFICATION: After the initial product evaluation, NSF shall period

15、ically review product performance and characteristics, including audits and/or retesting. An audit of the manufacturing site shall be conducted annually and retesting may May 7, 1997 Copyright O 1997 NSF International Page 1 of 8 be required, based on the results of the audit and/or revisions to the

16、 protocol. 1.5 LIMITATIONS: This protocol does not address all safety issues associated with the use of oven mitts as personal protective equipment. It remains the responsibility of the food service establishment operator to assure the appropriate use of oven mitts, specifically in terms of applicat

17、ion (Class I versus Class Il), mitt size, mitt configuration, frequency of cleaning, and company safety programs. Due to the wide variety of food service applications and environments, the length of the mitt (arm coverage) is not specified in the protocol, but is an important safety consideration. N

18、SF authorization for use of the NSF name and package statement is dependent on product conformance to this protocol and company conformance to NSF Policies (Terms and Conditions). SECTION 2.

WET CONDITIONING: Samples shall be conditioned by complete immersion in water at 21 I 3C (70 I 5F) for t

40、wo minutes. Samples shall be removed from water, hung opening-up in a vertical position for 5 minutes, laid horizontal with American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) textile blotting paper both under and over the specimen, under a weight of 0.5 psi for a period of 20 minutes. Sa

41、mples shall be tested within 5 minutes of conditioning. CONDUCTIVE HEAT RESISTANCE TEST: This test shall be conducted according to the Conductive Heat Resistance test described in Section 6-7 of NFPA 1971 (1997) with the following modifications: Samples shall consist of whole mitts, after pre-condit

42、ioning (Section 5.2) and both dry (Section 5.3) and wet (Section 5.4) conditioning, with exposure temperature of 280C (536F). Triplicate samples shall be evaluated. WHOLE MITT HEAT RESISTANCE TEST: Testing shall be conducted according to the Heat Resistance test described in Section 6-6 of NFPA 1971

43、 (1997). Samples shall be whole mitts, after pre-conditioning (Section 5.2) and dry (Section 5.3) conditioning only. Samples shall be donned and flexed 10 times before and after exposure. Samples shall be exposed in the test oven for 5 I 0.15 minutes at 260 I 6C (500 I 10 OF). Immediately after the

44、exposure, the samples shall be removed and examined for evidence of ignition, melting, dripping, cracking or separation. Measurements of the length and width of the samples shall be made before and after the exposures. Whole mitts shall be measured from the tip of the mitt to the base (length) and w

Samples shall be suspended vertically by clamps in the oven so that they are not less that 5.08 cm (2“) from any oven surface or other sample. Samples shall be exposed in the test oven for 24 I 0.25 hours at 260 I 6C (500 I 10F). After cooli

47、ng for a minimum of 4 hours, samples will be tested according to ASTM F903 Standard Test Method for Resistance of Protective Clothing Materials to Penetration by Liquids, Procedure C. Triplicate samples shall be evaluated. 5.8 CLEANABILITY TEST: The exterior of whole mitts shall be soiled with Franc

48、o- American-brand beef gravy (or equivalent product) and allowed to air dry for 24- 48 hours at room temperature. The exterior of the mitt shall be cleaned according to manufacturers instructions and visual observations shall be made to assess the amount of residual soil on the mitt exterior. The co
