Important: Costs, utility rates, permits, inspections, environmental duties, health requirements, safety rules and equipment standards vary by country, province or state, municipality, building use, equipment type and project scope. Qualified local professionals and the authority having jurisdiction must determine what applies. Warewashing involves hot water, steam, electricity, chemicals, wet floors, moving equipment and food-safety obligations. Qualified professionals and local health authorities determine installation, sanitation and operating requirements.
