Part 1 | Minimum Standards of Construction of Poultry Processing Premises

2.11 Further Effluent Treatment
Any additional effluent treatment facilities should be located so as
not to create an odour or other nuisance to processing areas.

2.12 Electrical Fittings
Electrical pipe fittings should be installed at least 25mm from
equipment or walls. Other electrical fittings such as switches,
ducts, cable ladders and switches should be sealed to the wall or
sufficiently clear to permit effective cleaning of the space between
the fitting and the wall.

2.13 Refrigeration
2.13.1 Where condensation is likely to lead to product
contamination, effective means to confine and remove
the condensation should be provided.

2.13.2 Where overhead refrigeration facilities are installed,
insulated drip pans, directly connected to the drainage
system, should be placed beneath them.
2.13.3 Refrigeration motors should be located outside the
premises except for other than a sealed unit which is an
integral part of an appliance.

2.14 Pneumatics
2.14.1 Where practicable, the exhaust from air operated
equipment should be piped to the exterior of processing
buildings.
2.14.2 Oil from air exhausts should be adequately trapped to
prevent contamination of product.
