This presentation is designed to help the sanitarian/environmental health specialist understand the construction and performance testing requirements of NSF/ANSI 7. With this knowledge, the labels placed inside certified refrigeration units such as, “for the storage and display of packaged products only”, can be better understood. Labeled limitations placed on refrigerators can have implications for plan reviewed facilities and existing food establishments as well. As part of this presentation, the process of national consensus standard development, the value of standards and certification, and how regulators play a role will also be discussed.
