GENERAL SCOPE: This protocol covers the public health and sanitation requirements for domestic spray-type dishwashing machines for use in homes and small facilities or i
9、nstitutions. It includes minimum requirements to ensure that machines will deliver wash water, detergent and rinse water which will render dishes, glasses, and utensils clean and sanitized. Domestic dishwashers covered under this protocol are not intended for use in facilities that are licensed and
10、inspected as food service establishments by a state or local governmental agency. ALTERNATE MATERIALS: Wherever specific materials are mentioned, it is understood that the use of materials proven to be equally satisfactory from the standpoint of sanitation may be permitted. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: The
11、 requirements set forth are minimum. Variations may be permitted when they make units as resistant to wear and corrosion, or more easily cleanable. Units with components, or parts, covered under existing NSF standards or criteria, shall comply with those applicable requirements. PURPOSE: NSF Interna
12、tional (NSF) may use the data generated by this protocol to evaluate the test product and substantiate the following protocol certification. NSF Protocol P153 Sanitization and Cleaning Performance of Household Spray-Type Dishwashers REVERIFICATION: After the initial product evaluation, NSF will peri
13、odically review product performance and characteristics, including audits and/or retest i ng .
