MCLEAN, VA —The standards that govern sanitary equipment design are being updated—and the manufacturers who build that equipment should have a seat at the table. 3-A SSI is recruiting engineers, product managers, and technical leads for five working groups that will update standards for Silo Tanks, Batch Processors, Disc-Type Valves, Conveyors and Air Pressure.
Applications close April 27. Working groups will launch May 11.
"We heard the industry clearly: experts want to contribute, but they need a defined finish line," says Meri Beth Wojtaszek, Executive Director. “To respect your time, every 2026 project features a fixed scope, a dedicated coordinator to handle administrative logistics, and a December publication target. 3-A SSI is asking for your technical expertise, not your paperwork.”
3-A SSI will host a free 30-minute virtual information session on April 17 at 1 pm EST for prospective working group volunteers. The session will outline project plans, meeting schedules, and the role of the working group coordinator, followed by an open Q&A.
This is a chance for equipment manufacturers to come together with food processors and regulators to directly influence the technical language in standards updates – and how the standards affect operations for the foreseeable future.
