BS EN1672 Compliance

Understanding EN 1672-2:2020 – Why It Matters for Professional Cleaning

EN 1672-2:2020 is a key European hygiene standard that sets out essential design requirements for food processing equipment. While it may seem technical, it has a direct impact on how you clean and maintain hygiene in food-related environments.

This standard ensures that machinery used in food production is easy to clean, made of safe materials, and designed to prevent the build-up of dirt, bacteria, or cleaning chemical residues. For cleaners, this means:

Faster and more effective cleaning – thanks to better equipment design.

Lower risk of contamination – when using the right materials and techniques.

Confidence in compliance – especially when cleaning for clients in food, catering, or healthcare sectors.
