TS 7039

TS 7039 is a service standard that addresses the general arrangement of workplaces where offal is sold. Its focus is on business operation, the characteristics of the premises and sales area, and the basic rules for employees working in this setting. In practical terms, it provides a general framework for organizing offal retail activity in a controlled and orderly workplace.

A general framework for operations, premises and staff

Offal retail is a specialized branch of meat and meat-product trade. Because offal belongs to a highly perishable food group, cleanliness, orderly handling, suitable storage and careful sales practices become especially important. This standard brings together the operational side of the shop, the physical characteristics of the premises, and the rules applying to workers. In other words, it treats the sales point not only as a counter, but as a workplace with defined operating and staffing conditions.

Technical context for offal shops

In general food-premises practice, the layout of the sales area, hygienic workflow, employee equipment, and facilities suited to the type of business are key factors. These considerations are particularly relevant in offal shops, where product holding, display and service must limit the risk of cross-contamination and support orderly operations. TS 7039 frames these themes as a workplace standard and defines the general environment for offal sales.
