Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 14159:2002(E)
Introduction
This International Standard is one of a series of standards relating to the safety of machinery (ISO 12100 series). It
differs from other safety standards, however, in that it is concerned with the associated hygiene risks of the
machinery to the consumer of the product being processed, not to the operator of the machine.
Hygiene risks are very different from other safety risks. They are more associated with the ability of machines to be
freed from product debris and micro-organisms, and thus preventing product contamination, rather than from the
dangers of moving parts or electrical hazards to the operator. For this reason, and whilst this International Standard
considers machines and their associated equipment, it can be used to provide guidance to the manufacturers of all
equipment types where hygiene risks to the consumer of products to be processed by such equipment could occur.
This International Standard is a Type B standard (see ISO 12100) and as such is very general. It is applicable to all
machines and associated equipment in applications where hygiene risks to the consumer of the product can occur
(e.g., food, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, cosmetics). Other standards, such as for example machinery specific
Type C standards (see Bibliography), may be required to provide guidance for specific types of equipment and/or
for specific industry sectors.
Historically, there have been cases where safety criteria have been addressed in machinery design without taking
into account the implications linked to hygienic risks (and vice versa). In almost all cases, at least one of the
different methods of design, safeguarding or residual safeguards can be chosen which will meet both safety and
hygiene essential requirements and adequately control both risks. The option chosen shall satisfy both hygiene and
safety risks, even if it may not be the most obvious option to have been adopted had the risk only been to safety or
to hygiene.
When no design or safeguarding options are within the state of the art to adequately control both hygiene and
safety risks, then one of the risks, or both, would have to be dealt with by residual safeguards, including
instructions to the user. The assessment of the respective safety and hygiene risks shall indicate their relative
significance, and the highest level of protection (i.e. safeguarding) shall be implemented to deal with the severest
risk, and residual safeguards shall be used for the lesser risk.
The technical solutions given in this International Standard permit both objectives to be met for those significant
and common risks identified as justifying common requirements specified in this International Standard.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

ISO 14159:2002(E)
5.1.2 Basic strategy for selecting hygiene measures
The basic strategy for selecting hygiene measures for the design of machinery and equipment shall be consistent
with ISO 12100-1:—, clause 5. This includes the following:
 identification of the process for which the machine is intended;
 hazards associated with the product(s) produced (see clause 4);
 risk assessment associated with each hazard identified (see 5.1.3);
 design methods/measures which can eliminate hazards or reduce risks associated with these hazards (see
5.2);
 identification of any other hazards (either safety or hygienic) which can be introduced by methods used to
reduce the risk associated with the hazard under analysis;
 means of verification of the effectiveness of the hazard elimination or the risk reduction method (see clause 6);
 description of residual risks and any additional precautions necessary in the information for use where
applicable (see clauses 7 and 8).
This process is schematically represented in Figure 1. After this process has been undertaken for all hazards
identified, it may be applicable to define the item of machinery according to one of the hygiene levels described in
annex A in order to help clarify the intended use.
5.1.3 Elements of risk assessment
When undertaking the elements of the risk assessment, the following parameters are presented as guidance to the
range and type of factors that shall be considered for the machine and its associated equipment.
a) The intended use of the machine: Will the machine be used for one specific purpose only, for which the
hazards are readily identifiable, or could the machine be used for a wide range of products in many industries
(e.g. a pump)?
b) The product type to be processed by the machine: Will the product be already contaminated (e.g. a raw
material) or will it be “preserved” or aseptic?
c) The degree of further processing: Will the product processed by the machinery subsequently undergo a further
process which functions as a hazard elimination step (e.g. a heat treatment) or is the process for which the
machine is intended the final process?
d) Specific application of the product:
1) Is the product to be used by the consumer immediately after processing or is there a product shelf-life in
which the severity of the hazard could increase (e.g. relevant microbial growth)?
2) Will the product be used by a specific consumer group to whom the hazard may present a more serious
risk (e.g. a baby, elderly or infirm person)?
e) The degree of cleaning, disinfection, pasteurization, sterilization and/or inspection: Is the machine to be
cleaned, disinfected, pasteurized, sterilized and/or inspected after every use, routinely during the day, every
day, or every week, etc.?
f) The use of the machine: Is the machine likely to be well maintained or used infrequently, is it designed for high
or continuous use or is misuse foreseeable?

5.2 Hygienic design
5.2.1 Materials of construction
5.2.1.1 General
Materials shall be suitable for their intended use.
Surfaces of materials and coatings shall be durable, cleanable and, if necessary, capable of being disinfected,
without breaks, resistant to cracking, chipping, flaking, erosion, corrosion and abrasion and prevent penetration of
unwanted matter under intended use.
5.2.1.2 Product contact surfaces
In addition to the general requirements (see 5.2.1.1), materials used for product contact surfaces shall:
 be corrosion resistant to both product and cleaning/disinfection materials;
 be non-toxic;
 not contaminate or otherwise have any adverse effect on the product;
 be non-absorbent (except where technically or functionally unavoidable);
 be temperature resistant to processing and heat treatments where necessary (e.g. freezing, pasteurization,
sterilization).
5.2.1.3 Metals
Product contact surfaces shall be:
 of stainless steel of a type appropriate for the application; or
 other metals (including solder) suitable for the conditions of intended use.
Product contact surfaces may be modified by surface treatment or coating(s).
5.2.1.4 Non-metals
Elastomers (e.g. rubber and rubber-like materials) and other polymers (e.g. plastic materials) may be used in
product contact applications and shall conform with the appropriate requirements for the application.
Elastomers and other polymers having product contact surfaces shall be of such composition as to retain their
surface and conformational characteristics when exposed to the conditions encountered in the environment of
intended use and in cleaning, disinfection, pasteurization or sterilization.
Adhesives and the bonds created by their use shall be compatible with the surfaces, products and
cleaning/disinfectant materials in which they are in contact. All bonds shall be continuous and mechanically sound
so that the adhesives do not separate from the base materials to which they are bonded.
Where materials having certain inherent functional purposes are required for specific applications, product contact
surfaces may be made of these materials (i.e. carbon, glass, ceramic materials).
Product contact surfaces may be modified by surface treatment or coating(s).

ISO 14159:2002(E)
5.2.1.5 Non-product contact surfaces
In addition to the general requirements (see 5.2.1.1), materials used for non-product contact surfaces (including
splash areas), under the conditions of intended use, shall:
 be of corrosion-resistant material or material that is treated (e.g. coating, painting) so as to be corrosion
resistant to both product and cleaning/disinfection materials. When coated, the coating shall adhere;
 be non-absorbent (except where technically or functionally unavoidable);
 not contaminate or otherwise have any adverse effect on the product.
Parts removable for cleaning having both product contact and non-product contact surfaces shall be designed to
ensure that hygiene risks are eliminated.
5.2.2 Design and fabrication of product contact surfaces
5.2.2.1 Surface texture
Surfaces shall be free of imperfections such as pits, folds, cracks and crevices. Technical requirements for surface
finish according to ISO 4287, shall be given in the specific standards, if appropriate.
5.2.2.2 Cleaning and inspection
Surfaces shall be cleanable. For machinery intended to be disassembled, the design shall ensure that relevant
areas are readily accessible for cleaning and inspection and the demountable parts shall be readily removable.
Alternatively, machinery may be designed to be cleaned in place. Some machinery cleaned in place may need to
be designed to allow ready access for inspection after cleaning.
5.2.2.3 Disinfection, pasteurization and sterilization
Machinery
