The third edition The third edition of EHEDG Guide Doc. 13, ‘Hygienic Design Criteria for Equipment Used in Wet Cleaned Open Food-Processing Environments’.
This revision, coordinated by SIIIA CEO Giampaolo Betta, has made the guideline more user-friendly and applicable thanks to the following new features:
- Scope limited to wet-cleaned systems
- Structure based on hygiene risk categories
- Focus on requirements instead of specific applications
- More precise and quantitative requirements aimed at general application
- Better integration with other public guidelines and possible future guidelines
- Specially produced images according to a graphic standard common to other guidelines
- Room for flexibility in requirements where the manufacturer can provide specific evidence
Together with document 8, this guideline is the basis for the EHEDG Type EL Class I certification, with the possible support of the evidence provided by the EHEDG test performance according to document 57.
Thanks to newly established working groups, this document paves the way for further investigation of particular types of equipment and systems or particular production sectors.
The document can be downloaded free of charge by EHEDG members directly from www.ehedg.org via the reserved area or alternatively can be purchased for a modest price by non-members.
