check STANDARDIZED ASTM TEST METHODS
By following the strict ASTM protocols, performance data can be easily compared among like appliances. This allows end-users to incorporate performance and energy usage into appliance purchasing decisions, while manufacturers can evaluate new designs or improve upon existing ones.

The FSTC has developed over 35 ASTM-ratified standard test methods for evaluating the performance and energy use of all major categories of commercial foodservice appliances. » Go to Test Methods
