This Standard contains requirements for equipment and devices that manually dispense food or beverages, in bulk or in portions. The materials, design, and construction requirements of this Standard may also be applied to an item that is manufactured as a component of food and beverage dispensing equipment. This Standard does not apply to vending machines, dispensing freezers, or bulk milk dispensing equipment covered by the scope of other NSF Standards.

Dispensing 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 such design meets the minimum specifications described herein.

NSF, in performing its functions in accordance with its objectives, does not assume or undertake todischarge any responsibility of the manufacturer or any other party. The opinions and findings of NSFrepresent its professional judgment. NSF shall not be responsible to anyone for the use of or relianceupon this Standard by anyone. NSF shall not incur any obligation or liability for damages, includingconsequential damages, arising out of or in connection with the use, interpretation of, or reliance uponthis Standard.NSF Standards provide basic criteria to promote sanitation and protection of the public health. Provisionsfor mechanical and electrical safety have not been included in this Standard because governmentalagencies or other national standards-setting organizations provide safety requirements.Participation in NSF Standards development activities by regulatory agency representatives (federal,local, state) shall not constitute their agency's endorsement of NSF or any of its Standards.Preference is given to the use of performance criteria measurable by examination or testing in NSFStandards development when such performance criteria may reasonably be used in lieu of design,materials, or construction criteria.The illustrations, if provided, are intended to assist in understanding their adjacent standard requirements.However, the illustrations may not include all requirements for a specific product or unit, nor do they showthe only method of fabricating such arrangements. Such partial drawings shall not be used to justifyimproper or incomplete design and construction.Unless otherwise referenced, the appendices are not considered an integral part of NSF Standards. Theappendices are provided as general guidelines to the manufacturer, regulatory agency, user, or certifyingorganization.

1 General1.1 PurposeThis Standard establishes minimum food protection and sanitation requirements for the materials, design,construction, and performance of manual food and beverage dispensing equipment and their relatedcomponents.1.2 ScopeThis Standard contains requirements for equipment and devices that manually dispense food orbeverages, in bulk or in portions. The materials, design, and construction requirements of this Standardmay also be applied to an item that is manufactured as a component of food and beverage dispensingequipment. This Standard does not apply to vending machines, dispensing freezers, or bulk milkdispensing equipment covered by the scope of other NSF Standards.Dispensing equipment components and materials covered under other NSF or NSF/ANSI Standards orCriteria shall also comply with the requirements therein. This Standard is not intended to restrict new unitdesign, provided that such design meets the minimum specifications described herein.1.3 Alternate materials, design, and constructionWhile specific materials, design, and construction may be stipulated in this Standard, dispensingequipment that incorporates alternate materials, design, or construction may be acceptable when suchequipment meets the applicable requirements herein.1.4 MeasurementDecimal and SI conversions provided parenthetically shall be considered equivalent. Metric conversionsand significant figure rounding have been made according to IEEE/ASTM SI 10.2 Normative referencesThe following standards contain provisions that, through reference, constitute provisions of this NSF/ANSIStandard.
