ENFIT – International Guideline. Date: 2021

For the first time, ENFIT worked with international experts from production, logistics, cleaning stations, plant construction and services to develop standards for the safe transport of raw materials and food. The international ENFIT Guideline includes all individual process steps from loading, transport, unloading, cleaning, disinfection, food feed and chemical defense, the complete traceability of food and allergens as well as the initial and recurring inspection according to DIN 10 502-1.

The international ENFIT Guideline “Transport of Unpackaged Raw Materials and Food in Transport Containers” is one of the most comprehensive industry references on transport hygiene, food safety, food defense and supply chain risk management.

The guideline contains approximately 200 pages of practical recommendations, risk assessment methodologies, inspection criteria and industry best practices developed by ENFIT experts and industry stakeholders.

The current version is available through the ENFIT Academy for a small administrative fee.

The guideline is supplied as a compressed PDF document (approx. 10 MB).

ENFIT Guideline - Transport of unpackaged raw materials and foodstuffs in transport containers.

On 200 pages you will find information about the applicable European and international laws and regulations. The ENFIT Guideline also describes the special responsibility of the stakeholders involved, who are "Food Business Operators" according to the "FBO" law. In German, this means: "Lebensmittelunternehmer" and "Lebensmittelunternehmen". This applies to every stakeholder who of the supply chain - from Farm to Fork". Logistic- and transport companies are part of the food chain and are therefore food entrepreneurs/food companies, or FBOs. Logistic- and transport companies are not only responsible for the transport, as is often wrongly assumed, but also for ensuring that the product reaches the recipient undamaged and free of contamination. Logistic- and or transport companies are also responsible for the cleaning result if the cleaning is carried out by a third party (service provider). A cleaning document, no matter what is listed in it, does not release you from responsibility.

The ENFIT Guideline covers many topics, such as food fraud, labeling of transport containers, different container types, attachments and accessories, compressed air supply and quality, cleaning and disinfection, food defense, traceability, validation and verification of cleaning processes and cleaning programs, and provide a general overview of all stages of the supply chain.
