TS 10512/T1

TS 10512/T1 is a withdrawn standard concerned with the general rules for a canned food factory. It points to the technical framework behind canned food production: how a plant is organised, how materials move through it, and how hygiene and processing areas are arranged. The statements below describe the general technical background of canned food manufacturing, not unverified clause-level requirements of this particular document.

Core technical idea behind canned food plants

Canned food production is a continuous industrial process that typically moves from raw material receiving to preparation, filling, sealing, and heat treatment. In general technical terms, factory layout matters because clean and dirty operations must be separated, product flow should be orderly, and equipment has to support efficient and hygienic processing. These principles are central to reducing contamination risk and maintaining consistent product handling.

In this context, “general rules” usually relates to the physical and operational conditions of the plant: building layout, floors and drainage, ventilation, utility services such as water and steam, ease of cleaning, and a sanitary working environment. For canned foods, microbial safety is especially associated with hermetic sealing and appropriate thermal processing, while the plant design helps support those critical steps. The title therefore signals a document about the basic organisation of canned food factory premises and operations.

What this document type tells the reader

• This record identifies a canned food factory standard, but it is now withdrawn.
• The title indicates a focus on general plant rules rather than a specific product recipe or single machine.
• It is useful for understanding the broad industrial principles behind hygienic canned food processing.
