Confirming Ashworth's dedication to sanitary design and food safety, three of the company's primary spiral/turn-curve conveyor belts used in bakery operations are now BISSC Third Party Verified. Belts meeting the strict design criteria for BISSC certification are the hybrid Advantage 120/200 series and Advantage RL 75, as well as the all-metal Omni-Pro.

All three belts are BISSC Certified and Third Party Verified under BISSC standard ANSI/BISSC/Z50.2-2003, Section 4.7, Design Requirements for Conveyors. Compliance to this standard is the commercial baker's guarantee that his bakery equipment was carefully designed to be easily and effectively cleaned, thereby promoting food safety and sanitation.

About BISSC
The BISSC (Baking Industry Sanitation Standards Committee) was formed in 1949 to develop and publish voluntary standards for the design and construction of bakery equipment which today are recognized as the definitive sanitation standards for equipment used in the baking industry. In 2003, working with the American Society of Baking (AIB), BISSC developed an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for the design of bakery equipment.
