NSF ANSI 12 contains requirements for automatic ice making equipment and devices used in the manufacturing, processing. storing, dispensing, packaging, and transportation of ice intended for human consumption. This Standard does not apply to equipment used solely in the manufacturing of block ice.
Automatic ice making equipment components and materials covered under other NSF or NSF/ANSI Standards or Criteria shall also comply with the requirements therein. This Standard is not intended to restrict new unit design. provided that such design meets the minimum specifications described herein.
1.3 Alternate materials, design, and construction
While specific materials, design. and construction may be stipulated in this Standard, equipment that incorporates alternate materials, design, or construction may be acceptable when such equipment meets the intent of the applicable requirements herein.
1.4 Measurement
Decimal and SI conversions provided parenthetically shall be considered equivalent. Metric conversions
and significant figure rounding have been made according to IEEE/ASTM SI 10.

4.2 Solder
Solder containing lead as an intentional ingredient shall not be used in a food zone or splash zone.
5 Design and construction
This Section contains design and construction requirements for equipment covered within the scope of this Standard.
5.1 General sanitation
5.1.1 Equipment shall be designed and manufactured to prevent the harborage of vermin and the accumulation of dirt and debris, and to permit the inspection, maintenance, servicing, and cleaning of the equipment and its components.
5.1.2 Equipment shall be designed and manufactured so that water intended for ice production may be added, or processed. or finished, or any combination of the three, so that ice may be dispensed. or removed, or served, or any combination of the three, in a sanitary manner.NSF ANSI 12 pdf download.
