Air quality is a major topic in everyone’s mind these days. As 3-A Sanitary Standards revises all of its individual equipment standards and system practices to use the broadened scope of its 3-A Sanitary Standard for General Requirements, ANSI/3-A 00-01-2018 (GR), existing industries such as pet food, personal care products, and beverage/bottling — and emerging technologies such as robotics and robotic automation systems — are lining up to assist with the revision of these important systems practices.
Within the new, expanded scope of the General Requirements Standard, Working Group 12 (Plant Support Systems) now includes a growing number of new major food plant manufacturers and food-processing equipment-industry stakeholder volunteers who are providing guidance for air quality and air supply systems.
