Commercially powered pot, pan, and utensil washing sinks are covered by the standard specification ASTM F2643-20. Type I, Type II, Style 1 (Class A and Class B), and Style 2 are some of the different types, styles, and classes that the standard divides into. Specific sizes for the drainboards, clean and dirty ends, scraper section, wash sink, rinse sink, and sanitizing sink must all be present in the sinks.

The materials used to make the sinks, such as corrosion-resistant steel, corrosion-resistant material, nickel-copper alloy, and plastics, must adhere to specified standards. The standard also specifies in detail how numerous components, including piping, tubing, fittings, valves, spray assemblies, tanks, overflows, frames, legs (feet), pump and motor assemblies, and heaters, must be constructed.

There are regulations for electrical equipment for circuit devices, wiring, motors, and controllers. The standard also includes recommendations for treatment and painting as well as lubrication standards. The sinks must adhere to strict performance standards, which include noise levels. To ensure adherence to the standard, operational, leakage, and performance testing must be completed.
