TS 11077

TS 11077 is a service standard that sets out general rules for places manufacturing milk products. In practical terms, it frames the technical conditions under which dairy production should be organised, including facility layout, workflow separation, cleanliness, equipment placement, and the overall arrangement of production areas.

General technical context for dairy manufacturing

Milk and dairy ingredients are microbiologically sensitive, so hygiene and process control are central concerns in dairy plants. Operations such as pasteurisation, fermentation, coagulation, cooling, and packaging require premises designed to support temperature control, reduce cross-contamination, and help preserve product quality. In general technical terms, standards in this area focus on facilities that are orderly, cleanable, and suitable for controlled production.

What this standard covers

As indicated by its title and scope, this standard covers the general rules for factories producing milk products rather than the formulation of a specific dairy item or the technology of one single product. For dairy plants, controlled handling from raw milk reception through processing, storage, and dispatch is fundamental to consistent quality and safe operation. The listing also shows that the standard has been withdrawn, so it reflects the technical framework of its period rather than a current operative edition.

• General technical rules for milk product manufacturing sites
• Principles for facility layout, hygiene, and workflow organisation
• A framework approach to premises and equipment used in dairy processing
• The subject is the production site itself, not a single recipe or product specification
