ABSTRACT
This specification covers racks used in commercial spray type dishwashing machines and for storage of clean tableware. Commercial dishwashing racks shall be classified as follows: Type I (Types IA, IB, IC, ID, IE, and IF); Type II (Type IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, and IIE); Type III; Type IV; Type V; and Type VI. Impact test, bow test, visual examination, and dimensional examination shall be performed to conform with the specified requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers racks used in commercial spray type dishwashing machines and for storage of clean tableware.
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 hazard caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 8, 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.
