What is NSF Certified Product compliance in relation to field modifications of Ice Machines?
NSF International Certification Policies for Food Equipment, Section PP-34 says that components of a Certified Product may be replaced with identical components as provided by the manufacturer of the Certified Product. A field modification of a Listed Product may be permitted provided that:
Third party certification of food equipment, such as NSF certification, is required in the health code. This opens up a lot of risk for restaurant chains and other ice machine operators because they can be cited and fined by health inspectors for using non-certified food equipment. Furthermore, installing non-certified components can void the equipment warranty and can open up unwanted liability issues.
