22、 public health and sanitation requirements for supplemental flooring. Included are requirements for cleanability and durability, and resistance to the use environment, microbiological growth, and vermin. 1.2 Scope Supplemental flooring covered by this Standard includes, but is not limited to, supple

23、mental flooring for use in food preparation, dry storage, and warewashing areas. Flooring components and materials covered under other NSF or NSF/ANSI Standards or Criteria shall also comply with the requirements therein. This Standard is not intended to restrict new supplemental flooring design, pr

24、ovided 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 Standard, flooring that incorporates alternate materials, design, or construction may be acceptabl

25、e when such flooring meets intent of the applicable requirements herein. 1.4 Measurement Decimal and SI conversions provided parenthetically shall be considered equivalent. Metric conversions and significant figure rounding have been made according to IEEE/ASTM SI 10. 2 Normative references The foll
