IKECA: International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association
IKECA, the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association, was founded in 1989 as a trade association for the kitchen exhaust cleaning industry, and joined ANSI in 2009 as a standards developer. IKECA is a nonprofit association committed to fire prevention and life safety by promoting kitchen exhaust cleaning to a higher standard. IKECA develops voluntary consensus standards for the cleaning, inspection, and user maintenance of commercial cooking operations for the purpose of protecting life and property from fire. Standards from IKECA are available both individually, directly through the ANSI webstore, and as part of a Standards Subscription. If you or your organization are interested in easy, managed, online access to standards that can be shared, a Standards Subscription may be what you need - please contact us at: [email protected] or 1-212-642-4980 or Request Proposal Price.

ANSI/IKECA C10-2016
Standard for the Methodology for Cleaning Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems
Commercial kitchen exhaust systems remove smoke, soot and grease-laden vapor resulting from cooking operations. These systems become contaminated with grease and cooking by-products over time. Accumulations of these combustible contaminants create a fire safety hazard to workers, patrons, other building occupants and property. Mitigation of this hazard requires periodic cleaning of commercial kitchen exhaust systems. This standard is intended to determine the frequency and necessity for commercial kitchen exhaust system cleaning through inspection procedures, to define acceptable methods for cleaning exhaust systems and components, and to set standards for acceptable post-cleaning cleanliness.
ANSI/IKECA C10-2021
Standard For The Methodology For Cleaning Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems
This standard is intended to determine the methodology for frequency and necessity for commercial kitchen exhaust system cleaning through inspection procedures, to define acceptable methods for cleaning exhaust systems and components, and to set standards for acceptable post- cleaning cleanliness.
ANSI/IKECA C10-2011

ANSI/IKECA I10-2020
Standard for the Methodology for Inspection of Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems
This standard shall provide minimum requirements for inspecting commercial kitchen exhaust systems and system components for mechanical conditions, structural integrity, fire safety, and cleanliness levels.
ANSI/IKECA I10-2015
Standard for the Methodology for Inspection of Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems
This inspection standard is the second of three standards to address areas and methodologies of cleaning, inspection, and user maintenance of commercial kitchen exhaust systems. This standard shall provide minimum requirements for inspecting commercial kitchen exhaust systems and system components for mechanical conditions, structural integrity, fire safety, and cleanliness levels. The purpose of this standard shall be to reduce the potential fire safety hazards associated with commercial kitchen exhaust systems through inspection services.
ANSI/IKECA M10-2019
Standard for the Methodology for Maintenance of Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Systems
1.1.1 This standard shall define acceptable methods to operate and maintain commercial kitchen exhaust systems by end users in the interim between professional system cleaning services. 1.1.2 This standard shall apply to, but not be limited to, Type 1 exhaust systems as defined in this standard and constructed in accordance with NFPA 96, Chapter 5, and reference in NFPA Annex material section A.3.3.33. 1.1.3 This standard shall not apply to residential kitchen exhaust systems, replacement air systems, heating and air-conditioning systems, dryer exhaust systems, and toilet exhaust systems.
