The specifications for the design of stationary rack commercial dishwashing machines used for washing, rinsing, and sanitizing eating and drinking utensils are laid out in the ASTM F857-17 standard. Although these machines are made to be manually fed, automatic controls are there to guarantee consistent cleaning.

The standards for material, design, and performance for dishwashing machines are all covered by the standard. Performance, operation, leakage, energy efficiency, and productivity testing must be performed on the machines. For the representative production models to be successful and reliable, it is crucial that they pass these tests and perform as intended.

The requirements for certification, product branding, and packaging are also covered by the standard. Manufacturers can demonstrate that their commercial dishwashing machines meet the requirements for reliable and safe operation by adhering to this standard.
