1.1This specification covers food cookers and food reheaters which use steam as the heat source. These units are also known as steamers, steam ovens, and steam cookers which utilize steam generated by gas, electric heat, or steam coil sources, or a combination thereof, in commercial and institutional food service establishments. This specification can be used for sub-zero-pressure steamers, pressure steamers, combination pressure/pressureless steamers, boilerless steamers, and connectionless steamers, and does not cover steam cooking equipment used by food processors who normally package the food that they cook.

1.2The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The SI values given in parentheses are provided for information only.

1.3This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
