Bradley Beach, NJ, Release: November 10, 2021. For Immediate Release
First established in 1922, The Cookware Manufacturing Association’s Engineering Standards for Cookware and Bakeware are the result of extraordinary voluntary collaboration among member companies in the US and Canada. The Standards exist to promote the welfare of the cookware and bakeware industry and to improve its service to the public.
The CBA Engineering Standards have been a long-standing guide for so many manufacturers and developers for generations. It has grown substantially through the years and needed an uplift.
The Standards are continually updated to reflect changes in materials and technology. The latest version (September 2021) includes several important updates from new content to significant visual esthetic enhancements.
The newest of content updates include:
- “mini” cookware and bakeware,
- clarifications of maximum oven temperature,
- and a new test method for measuring handle temperature.
This newest version is an incredible turnaround especially to the visual organization and inclusiveness of important updates needed for the industry.
“It has been an honor and pleasure to be a part of this change,” says Raffaella Romano, Product Safety and Compliance Leader of Noia Tecnica Consulting.
“The Engineering Standards manual is the most important benefit and tool of the Association. This book stands for the members’ dedication to building products with consumer safety at the forefront of all we do. These Standards are the benchmark by which all cookware should be manufactured.” Says Fran Groesbeck, Managing Director of the CBA.
The latest version of the CBA Engineering Standards for Cookware and Bakeware may be purchased by going to cookware.org. CBA member companies receive updated print and electronic versions included in their membership benefits package.
The CBA is accepting new members who have a long-term, primary commitment to the cookware and bakeware industry and have a financial, operational, and marketing presence in the U.S. and/or Canada. To learn more about becoming a member of the CBA, visit www.cookware.org/join.
