3-A Certification

3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc. (3-A SSI) is an independent, not-for-profit corporation dedicated to advancing hygienic equipment design for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. 3-A SSI currently maintains more than 70 different 3-A Sanitary Standards in many different general categories of equipment.

3-A Sanitary Standards specify the criteria for the design and fabrication of equipment that comes into contact with food. The guiding purpose of 3-A Sanitary Standards is to protect public health by using sanitary equipment. 3-A Sanitary Standards have two main goals: to protect food from contamination, and to ensure that all product contact surfaces can be mechanically cleaned and be dismantled easily for manual cleaning or inspection.

The 3-A Symbol is a registered mark used to identify equipment that meets 3-A Sanitary Standards for design and fabrication. Voluntary use of the 3-A Symbol on dairy and food equipment serves three important purposes:

  • Assures processors that equipment meets sanitary standards;
  • Provides accepted criteria to equipment manufacturers for sanitary design;
  • Establishes guidelines for uniform evaluation and compliance by sanitarians.

PNR Italia Srl is authorized to apply the 3-A Symbol to CIP models UA3 xxxx B31 xCx, conforming to 3-A Sanitary Standard 78-01: spray cleaning devices intended to remain in place.
