A pair of ASTM International standards developed by ASTM International Committee F26 on Food Service Equipment will be used to replace U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) military standards.
Subcommittee F26.04 on Mechanical Preparation Equipment developed the standards, ASTM F 2645 - Specification for Bun Slicing Machines and ASTM F 2646 - Specification for Bread Slicing Machines.
According to Richard Pittenger, agency approval engineer and chair of F26.04, the two standards are used to source various sizes and types of bread and bun slicing machines.
The most likely user of the standard will be the DOD, which purchases the equipment for military installations.
