TS 11076

TS 11076 addresses the general rules for slaughterhouses used for poultry, focusing on structural arrangement, operating organization, production flow and personnel characteristics. In technical terms, the subject is not only the building itself but also how the plant is laid out, managed and staffed so that slaughter operations can be carried out in an orderly and hygienic way.

Core technical areas in poultry slaughter facilities

In poultry plants, practical design considerations usually include separation of raw and clean areas, equipment layout, cleanable floors and surfaces, and water and drainage infrastructure. The general engineering logic is to organise the flow from reception to dispatch in a way that reduces the risk of cross-contamination. TS 11076 places these kinds of structural and production-related topics within a general-rule framework for such facilities.

Operations, personnel and supporting infrastructure

• Operating rules are intended to keep the internal workflow orderly and under control.
• Personnel characteristics matter because the work depends on trained staff with appropriate hygiene awareness and discipline.
• Water, power, ventilation, waste handling and drainage are essential support systems for continuity of operations and site order.
• This standard provides the general framework for poultry slaughter facilities; detailed application requirements are assessed together with the relevant legislation and referenced standards.
