NSF ANSI 12:2018 pdf free download – Automatic Ice Making Equipment
1.1 Purpose
This Standard establishes minimum food protection and sanitation requirements for the materials, design, construction, and performance of automatic ice making equipment and their related components.
1.2 Scope
This Standard contains requirements for automatic ice making equipment and devices used in the manufacturing, processing, storing, dispensing, packaging, and transportation of ice intended for human consumption. This Standard does not apply to equipment used solely in the manufacturing of block ice. Automatic ice making equipment 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 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 Standard, equipment that incorporates alternate materials, design, or construction may be acceptable when such equipment meets the 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 following documents contain provisions that, through reference, constitute provisions of this NSF/ANSI Standard. At the time this Standard was balloted, the editions listed below were valid. All documents are subject to revision, and parties are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the recent editions of the documents indicated below. The most recent published edition of the document shall be used for undated references.
5.1.1 Equipment shall be designed and manufactured to prevent the harborage of vermin and the accumulation of dirt and debris, and to permit the inspection, maintenance, servicing, and cleaning of the equipment and its components.
5.1.2 Equipment shall be designed and manufactured so that water intended for ice production may be added, or processed, or finished, or any combination of the three, so that ice may be dispensed, or removed, or served, or any combination of the three, in a sanitary manner.
5.1.3 Food zones shall be readily accessible and easily cleanable or shall be designed for in-place cleaning. Units may be located behind removable access panels, since daily cleaning is not required.
5.1.4 Food zones for which in-place cleaning is intended shall be designed and manufactured so that cleaning and sanitizing solutions may be circulated or passed throughout the fixed system. The design shall ensure that cleaning and sanitizing solutions contact all food contact surfaces. The system shall be self-draining or capable of being completely evacuated. Equipment and appurtenances designed for in- place cleaning shall have a section of the cleaned area accessible for inspection or shall provide for other acceptable inspection methods. The manufacturer shall provide written instructions for the cleaning and sanitizing of all food zone surfaces for which in-place cleaning is intended. The type and concentration of sanitizing agent recommended in the instructions by the manufacturer shall
