TS 7890

TS 7890 is a service standard focused on how bread selling shops are classified and on the basic rules for their establishment and operation. Its subject is the retail setting where bread is offered to consumers, bringing that type of business into a common framework of shop characteristics and operating conditions.

What classification means in this context

In general technical terms, classification standards provide a shared way to describe similar businesses using the same criteria. For bread shops, that usually means considering how the premises are arranged, how sales are conducted, how the service flow works, and what kind of retail activity the shop is organised around. This helps distinguish a bread-focused outlet from other food retail formats.

Defined boundary of the subject matter

According to the scope, the standard applies to bread selling shops, but it does not cover places selling baked goods prepared with fillings such as minced meat, cheese, or similar ingredients, including pide, pizza and boğaça. That distinction matters because those products belong to a different retail and preparation model, with different operational needs. TS 7890 therefore concentrates on the classification and shop features of bread-oriented retail premises.

The document belongs to a public-health and food-service regulatory environment in Turkey, so its value lies in creating a common language for premises and operating characteristics. It should be understood as a service standard for bread retail settings rather than a production standard for baked goods themselves.
