Hygienic Design Network
Norkopf works with the methodology of the The Hygienic Design Network (HDN). this network is a platform that promotes hygienic design principles, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industries, to ensure cleanliness and prevent contamination. It provides a methodology based on European standards and guidelines for designing, constructing, and installing machines and process installations. HDN focuses on identifying and implementing technical measures necessary for hygiene, recognizing the expertise required for proper execution.
Key aspects of HDN
HDN focuses on conformity of machines and process installations in the food and processing industries according with European regulations.
The methodology is based on European standards and guidelines for hygienic design (EN1672-2). HDN uses a Hygiene Risk Analysis (HRA) to determine the appropriate hygienic class (HDN 1-4) for different applications.
HDN applies to the whole industry!
HDN is relevant for companies involved in hygienic process industries and machine construction, including engineers, machine builders, installers, suppliers, inspection companies, and scientific institutions.
Benefits:
-
Improved Food Safety: Reduces the risk of contamination and foodborne illnesses.
