ASTM F953-19

Standard Specification for Commercial Dishwashing Machines (Stationary Rack, Dump Type) Chemical Sanitizing

ABSTRACT
This specification covers manually fed, spray-type, stationary rack, automatically controlled, dump type, chemical sanitizing commercial dishwashing machines. Dishwashing machines shall be of the following types, styles, classes: type I - Straight-through model, 34 in. nominal table height. This machine is used in line with table on each side, type II - Corner model, 34 in. nominal table height. This machine is used in corner placement forming a 90° table on each side, and type III - Under counter, front load. This machine may be installed under counters; style A - single rack, and style B - double rack. No leakage shall occur when tested at pressures up to 125 % of the manufacturer's recommended supply line pressure. The dishwasher materials, construction, operation cycle, electrical equipment, lubrication, and coating shall meet the requirements prescribed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers manually fed, spray-type, stationary rack, automatically controlled, dump type, chemical sanitizing commercial dishwashing machines.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 7, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
