Health codes in most areas require food equipment in a commercial kitchen to carry a sanitation listing. For griddles that means NSF, or an ETL, UL or CSA sanitation listing to the same NSF/ANSI 4 standard. These griddles carry one of those marks on the maker’s spec sheet or listing, and most also carry a UL, ETL or CSA safety or gas listing.
