NSF shall not incur any obligation or liability for damages, including consequential damages, arising out of or in connection with the use, interpretation of, or reliance upon this Standard. NSF Standards provide
10、basic criteria to promote sanitation and protection of the public health. Provisions for mechanical and electrical safety have not been included in this Standard because governmental agencies or other national standards-setting organizations provide safety requirements. Participation in NSF Standard
11、s development activities by regulatory agency representatives (federal, local, state) shall not constitute their agencys endorsement of NSF or any of its Standards. Preference is given to the use of performance criteria measurable by examination or testing in NSF Standards development when such perf
12、ormance criteria may reasonably be used in lieu of design, materials, or construction criteria. The illustrations, if provided, are intended to assist in understanding their adjacent standard requirements. However, the illustrations may not include all requirements for a specific product or unit, no

36、was founded in 1933 as a national trade association dedicated 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 Ref
37、rigeration Institute. CRMD/ARI continues to target three primary 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 a
38、ffecting the industry. to support high voluntary standards 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 r

40、ers 1 General 1.1 Purpose 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 refri
41、gerators and freezers 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);
42、 rapid pull-down refrigerators 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 requirem
43、ents of this Standard 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 confor
44、m to the requirements 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 Standa
45、rd, equipment that incorporates 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
46、 to IEEE/ASTM SI 10. 2 Normative references The following documents contain provisions that, through reference, constitute provisions of this NSF/ANSI Standard.
