27、 General 1.1 Purpose This Standard establishes minimum food protection and sanitation requirements for the materials, design, and construction of commercial food preparation equipment that is power operated. This Standard does not apply to manually operated equipment. This Standard does not contain
28、safety requirements. 1.2 Scope Equipment covered by this Standard includes, but is not limited to, coffee grinders, grinders, mixers, pasta makers, peelers, saws, slicers, tenderizers, and similar equipment. Section 7 of this Standard pertains to food handling and processing equipment that has been
29、designed and manufactured for special use purposes. Food equipment designed and manufactured with a security package is utilized in environments such as correctional facilities, mental health facilities, and some schools. For these environments, where both sanitation and security are concerns, 7 con
30、tains exceptions to this Standard that shall only be applicable to the splash and nonfood zones of food equipment provided with a security package. Equipment components and materials covered under other NSF or NSF/ANSI Standards or Criteria shall also comply with the requirements within. This Standa
31、rd 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 incorporates alternate
32、materials, design, or construction may be acceptable when such equipment meets the intent of the applicable requirements herein. 1.4 Measurement Decimal and SI conversions provided parenthetically shall be considered equivalent. Metric conversions and significant figure rounding have been made accor

45、ns design and construction requirements for equipment covered within the scope of this Standard. 5.1 General sanitation 5.1.1 Equipment shall be designed and manufactured to prevent the harborage of vermin and the accumulation of dirt and debris, and to permit the inspection, maintenance, servicing,
46、 and cleaning of the equipment and its components. 5.1.2 Equipment shall be designed and manufactured so that food may be added, processed, finished, dispensed, removed, and/or served in a sanitary manner. 5.1.3 Food zones shall be readily accessible and easily cleanable or shall be designed for in-
47、place cleaning when a readily accessible design is not feasible. 12 Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., 333 Pfingsten Road, Northbrook, IL 60062 . 2012 NSF NSF/ANSI 8 2012 4 NOTE In heavy duty or high speed equipment that requires close tolerances on assembled parts and secure fastening for safety or c
48、ontinuing function, simple tools may be used for disassembly. In such instances, parts of the equipment requiring cleaning shall be accessible and cleanable. 5.1.4 Food zones for which in-place cleaning is intended shall be designed so that cleaning and sanitizing solutions may be circulated or pass
