EHEDG
The European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG) was founded in
1989 as a non-profit consortium of equipment manufacturers, food producers,
suppliers to the food industry, research institutes and universities, public health
authorities and governmental organizations.
The principal goal of EHEDG is the promotion of safe food by improving hygienic
engineering and design in all aspects of food manufacture. EHEDG actively
supports European legislation, which requires that handling, preparation
processing and packaging of food is done hygienically using hygienic machinery
and in hygienic premises according to the food hygiene directive, the machinery
directive and the food contact materials directive (see EC Directive 2006/42/EC
for Machinery, EN 1672-2 and EN ISO 14159 on Hygiene requirements for the
design of machinery).
Equipment manufacturers and users are responsible to implement these
requirements and EHEDG provides them guidance on the essential hygienic
design standards in compliance with national and international legislation.
The EHEDG mission is defined as “EHEDG enables safe food production by
providing guidance as an authority on hygienic engineering and design”.
3-A
3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc maintains a large inventory of design criteria for
equipment and processing systems developed using a modern consensus
process based on ANSI requirements to promote acceptance by USDA, FDA and
state regulatory authorities.
We oversee the 3-A Symbol Authorization program and other voluntary
certificates to help affirm the integrity of hygienic processing equipment and
systems and provide extensive Knowledge Resources to support the training and
education needs in the rapidly changing food, beverage, and pharmaceutical
industries.
