The safety and effectiveness specifications for gas heating equipment used in commercial dishwashing machines are laid forth in the standard known as BS 5809:1980. The specification applies to devices that either circulate hot water from a nearby heater or heat water on an in-built gas burner. It also includes devices that heat and rinse water independently.

The standard aims to guarantee the equipment's safety by outlining specified standards that must be fulfilled. These standards are meant to prevent potential risks like leaks or malfunctions that are connected to gas heating. The standard also offers test procedures for determining if the apparatus conforms to safety requirements.

The standard addresses the thermal efficiency of the gas heating equipment in addition to safety. This is crucial to ensuring that the machinery runs effectively and consumes the least amount of energy possible. The standard promotes the development of machinery that successfully uses gas heating to efficiently heat water by establishing efficiency requirements.
