NSF Criteria
NSF Standard 4 added performance requirements for food
rethermalizing. The requirements mirror the requirements for
food rethermalizing in the FDA Food Code. The basic
requirement is that food reach a temperature of 165°F (74°C) in
a time period of two hours or less. Appliances that are
manufactured for the purpose of rethermalizing food will need
to meet these performance requirements in order to be listed
to NSF Standard 4.
The Hatco FR2 Series Hydro-Heater is specifically made for
food rethermalizing, however, the heating unit is designed to be
incorporated into a hot water bath rethermalizer. Hatco does
not supply the vessel that contains the water, nor the system
that determines how food is placed and held in the vessel. The
Hatco FR2 unit attaches to the bottom of the vessel and
supplies hot water to the vessel.
Hatco does supply sizing recommendations to enable the
appliance manufacturer to correctly size the FR2 unit to the
vessel. However, there are variables in the way that the vessel
is manufactured that affect its ability to pass the NSF
performance requirements. The Hatco FR2 unit is listed with
NSF for construction only. Due to the fact that the FR2 is only
a portion of a larger system, it is impossible to do performance
testing until the FR2 unit is incorporated onto the water vessel.
The result is that it is the responsibility of the vessel
manufacturer to have the entire rethermalizing appliance tested
and listed in accordance with NSF Standard 4. Simply hanging
an NSF listed FR2 unit on the appliance does not transfer NSF
listing to the entire appliance.
