3-A Sanitary Standards Compliance

In 1920, three US associations published directives for milk pipe connections. These three associations, led to the name 3A:
These organizations 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 and dairy industry. Other sectors, particularly the pharmaceutical industry, are oriented towards these standards or follow them as though they were mandatory.
