3-A Certifications

3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc. (3-A SSI) is a non-profit association representing equipment manufacturers, processors, regulatory sanitarians and other public health professionals. Through many decades of cooperation, these groups have established a comprehensive inventory of 3-A Sanitary Standards and 3-A Accepted Practices now known around the world for dairy and food processing equipment and systems.
