The document outlines the specifications and standards for Kenall lighting fixtures used in food processing, handling, and preparation areas. These fixtures are evaluated based on corrosion resistance, cleanability, and the materials exposed to food.
Exposed materials must withstand normal wear and the corrosive action of foods, beverages, and cleaning compounds. They should not impart any odor, color, taste, or toxic material to food. The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) defines equipment surfaces as Food Contact or Non-Food Contact, with further divisions into Food Zone, Splash Zone, and Non-Food Zone.
- Splash Zones (SN): Fixtures for Splash Zones and Non-Food Zones use painted CRS, painted aluminum, or anodized aluminum for exposed sheet metal. Fasteners are stainless steel, and lenses can be acrylic, polycarbonate, or tempered glass.
- Food Zones (FN): Fixtures for Food Zone/Non-Food Contact areas use similar materials but require paint that meets U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21. Fasteners are stainless steel and removable without tools, and lenses must be FDA-approved Food Grade polycarbonate.
Kenall does not recommend specific construction levels for applications; the final decision is up to local inspectors.
Kenall fixtures are tested and certified to the NSF2 standard, ensuring they meet sanitation requirements in food-related areas.
