Certification under BRCGS Food version 9 began on February 1, 2023.
One of the changes in version 9 of the BRCGS Food is chapter 4.6 on equipment, which requires manufacturers to ensure that their equipment is properly designed.
- 4.6.1 "[...] detail the site requirements for this equipment."
- 4.6.2: "Equipment design and construction must be based on risk assessment [...]".
- 4.6.3: "The design and layout of equipment must ensure efficient cleaning and maintenance."
To meet these requirements, the CTCPA can help you identify the criteria for hygienic design of equipment, and the gains to be made by complying with them.
It also supports you in integrating these criteria when choosing new equipment, or when modifying existing equipment on your production lines.
