Simplifying Compliance: How Fristam Pumps Meet EHEDG & 3-A Standards for Hygienic Processing

In industries like food, dairy, beverages & brewing, home & personal care, chemical, and bio-pharmaceuticals, maintaining high hygiene standards is crucial. Meeting these standards ensures product safety and quality. The most important guidelines in hygienic equipment design are 3-A & the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG) standards. Fristam Pumps makes it easier for businesses to meet these industry standards for sanitary pumps designed for hygienic processing, helping you stay compliant without hassle.

What Are EHEDG and the 3-A Standards?

Hygiene is a significant factor as per industry standard requirements wherein equipment needs to be designed and cleaned according to stringent standards. Two prominent organizations establish global standards for regulatory compliance in pump design: the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG) and 3-A Sanitary Standards (3-A). Their requirements are based on three primary points:

EHEDG Standards:

• Hygienic Design: Not allowing equipment to trap contaminants.
• Cleanability: Easy-to-clean equipment that does not contain harmful bacteria.
• Material Selection: Materials that are non-reactive with food and beverages and have high corrosion resistance.

3-A Sanitary Standards:

3-A Sanitary Standards are generally well-known throughout the United States. They share the same goal of providing hygienic design and cleanability for equipment used in sanitary industries. Some of the main principles are:

• Sanitary Construction: All parts are accessible for cleaning and inspection.
• Material Compliance: Materials used should be FDA-approved to ensure that they are safe to be in contact with consumables.
• Ease of Maintenance: Designs are encouraged to decrease downtime and enhance efficiency when cleaned or repaired.
