31、the areas of public health, safety and protection of the environment. The NSF Mark is placed on millions of consumer, commercial and industrial products annually and is trusted by users, regulators and manufacturers. Technical resources at NSF include physical and performance testing facilities and
32、analytical chemistry and microbiology laboratories. NSF professionals include engineers, chemists, toxicologists, sanitarians and computer scientists with extensive experience in public heath, food safety, water quality and the environment. NSF certification programs are fully accredited by the Amer
33、ican National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Dutch Council for Accreditation (RvA) and the Standards Council of Canada (SCC). NSF also provides management system registration services to ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 standards through its subsidiary NSF International Strategic Registrations, Ltd. NSF main
34、tains laboratories in Michigan, as well as offices in Ann Arbor, MI, and Brussels, Belgium. Commercial Refrigerator Manufacturers Division/Air Conditioning Refrigeration Institute The Commercial Refrigerator Manufacturers Association (CRMA) was founded in 1933 as a national trade association dedicat
35、ed to advancing the common interests of the commercial refrigeration industry. In April 2000, CRMA merged with the Air Conditioning Refrigeration Institute (ARI) to form the Commercial Refrigerator Manufacturers Division/Air Conditioning Refrigeration Institute. CRMD/ARI continues to target three pr
36、imary objectives: to showcase technical and business information to help solve common problems and promote growth in industry. to represent the collective voice of the industry with any government organization addressing policies or issues affecting the industry. to support high voluntary standards
37、for quality in equipment design and performance. CRMD/ARI is a not-for-profit corporation of leading businesses meeting international demands for increasingly specialized and efficient refrigeration equipment. CRMD/ARI members serve a wide range of markets, including supermarkets, food stores, conve
38、nience stores, restaurants, hotels, motels, food processing establishments, and hospitals.

39、pose This Standard establishes minimum food protection and sanitation requirements for the materials, design, manufacture, construction, and performance of commercial refrigerators and freezers and their related components. 1.2 Scope This Standard contains requirements for refrigerators and freezers
40、 used to store and/or display cold food. The types of refrigerators and freezers covered by this Standard include, but are not limited to: storage refrigerators (e.g., reach-in, under counter, walk-in, roll-in); storage freezers (e.g., reach-in, under counter, walk-in, roll-in); rapid pull-down refr
41、igerators and freezers; refrigerated food transport cabinets; refrigerated buffet units; refrigerated food preparation units; display refrigerators; beverage coolers; and ice cream cabinets. This Standard does not establish equipment installation requirements. While the requirements of this Standard
42、 are intended to ensure that equipment may be installed in a sanitary manner, proper installation of equipment shall be governed by the applicable codes. Refrigerator and freezer components and materials covered under other NSF or NSF/ANSI Standards or Criteria shall also conform to the requirements
43、 therein. This Standard is not intended to restrict new unit design, provided that such design meets the minimum specifications described herein. 1.3 Alternate materials, design, and construction While specific materials, design, and construction may be stipulated in this Standard, equipment that in
44、corporates alternate materials, design, or construction may be acceptable when such equipment meets the applicable requirements herein. 1.4 Measurement Decimal and SI conversions provided parenthetically shall be considered equivalent. Metric conversions have been made according to IEEE/ASTM SI 10.
