TS 13075/T3

TS 13075/T3 is a standard concerned with the general rules for services that transport foodstuffs from one place to another. It sets out the basic framework for the management of the service, the characteristics of transport vehicles, and the requirements related to workplaces and personnel involved in moving raw, semi-processed and finished food products, food additives, by-products intended for processing, and food packaging.

How the transport service is organised

The focus of this standard is not simply the physical movement of goods, but the organised operation of a food transport service. In food logistics, vehicle suitability, workplace organisation, and staff competence are central factors because they influence product integrity, orderly handling, and the consistency of the transport chain. As a general technical context, different food categories often require different handling considerations depending on their form, packaging, and processing stage.

Product groups and service environment covered

• Raw, semi-processed and finished food products
• Food additives
• By-products reserved for processing
• Food packaging
• General rules for workplaces, vehicles and personnel providing food transport services

The T3 designation indicates that this publication is an add-on or adaptation linked to the main standard, so the described framework should be understood as focused on general rules for food transport services. In food logistics, the practical purpose is to organise transport for different product groups within a single service system and to establish a common technical basis for the workplaces and staff involved.
