3-A Sanitary Standards Compliance
In 1920 three US associations published directives for milk pipe connections. Hence the name 3-A, for 3 Associations.
These organisations are:
International Association of Milk, Food and Environmental Sanitarians (IAMFES)
United Public Health (UPH)
Dairy Industry Committee (DIC)
In 1944 the body of regulations, which in the intervening period had become
more comprehensive, was accredited by the US Government. Over 50 standards
have been published, primarily for the milk industry. Other sectors, in particular
the pharmaceutical industry, are oriented towards these standards or prescribe
them as mandatory.
