3-A Hose Assemblies

What is 3-A?

3-A Sanitary Standards are detailed standards for equipment design related to the "cleanability" of equipment. The goal of 3-A standards is to ensure all product contact surfaces can be cleaned and sanitized to protect consumable products from contamination.

How does 3-A certified equipment benefit food, beverage, and pharmaceutical plants?

• Ensures product safety by eliminating surfaces that can trap product and harbor bacteria

• Meets Regulatory Compliance requirements of Federal and State Inspectors

• Saves time and money during cleaning and problem-solving activities

Equipment with a symbol meets all 3-A standards for design and fabrication based on a Third Party Verification (TPV) inspection.
