AHAM FWD-1-2016 PDF Download

The AHAM FWD-1-2016 standard is a series of recommendations that establish a standardized and repeatable process for evaluating particular features of home food waste disposer units. Based on their important product qualities, these standard procedures enable comparison and evaluation of various brands and types of food waste disposers. It's crucial to remember that these techniques are not intended to stifle innovation or advancements in product testing, design, or performance.

The standard only applies to home food waste disposal units and covers a wide range of topics, including definitions, general characteristics, nameplate information, construction features, and test procedures for grind performance, jamming resistance, and damage resistance. It also contains advice on hygienic practices and safety related to the operation of these units.
