Code of practice for HACCP regulations
The British Compressed Air Society has introduced a code of practice to help food manufacturers comply with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations.
In conjunction with the British Retail Consortium (BRC), the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS) has introduced a code of practice to help food manufacturers comply with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations regarding the use of compressed air in the food industry HACCP procedures were introduced by the 852/2004 European Regulation to establish good practice throughout the food supply chain in a 'Farm to Table' process

Intelligent condensate drains are electronic level sensing drains that detect and discharge only when condensate is present and ensure no loss of valuable compressed air.
Compressed air - how often to change filters?
One of the most frequently asked questions compressed air users have, says an equipment supplier, is without doubt: 'Why should they change filter elements every twelve months?'
The new industry driven code of practice sets out recommendations that cover all aspects of compressed air quality including humidity and microbiological contamination in line with levels specified by ISO 8573.1, the international standard for air quality.
It significantly identifies the air purity requirements for compressed air for both contact and non-contact applications.
Food manufacturers may have concerns that the new code will lead to cost increases if they are forced to source new equipment to meet higher compressed air quality requirements.
However, in reality, the majority of existing compressed air systems and installations will be easily updated with air treatment equipment such as high efficiency compressed air filters and dryers to satisfy the Code.
