16、sed in all NSF Food Equipment Standards. With all NSF Food Equipment definitions located in one document, and not in the individual Food Equipment Standards, greater consistency will be achieved, as changes to a given definition will affect all other Food Equipment Standards simultaneously once adop
17、ted in the Glossary. In addition, the Glossary of Food Equipment Terminology may serve as a reference tool within the industry. This Glossary was developed by the NSF Joint Committee on Food Equipment using the consensus process described by the American National Standards Institute. This edition of
18、 the Standard contains the following revisions: Issue 16 A new definition was added for the term glider for section 3.90. Issue 17 A new definition was added for the term leak proof liner for section 3.115 Issue 18 A new definition was added for the term self-service display refrigerator with automa
