TS 9094

TS 9094 is a service standard concerned with the general rules for beverage factories. It addresses the structural arrangement, operating practice, staff characteristics and technical equipment of workplaces where soft drinks, cola drinks, carbonated drinks, diet products, fruit juices and vegetable juices are manufactured.

In general technical terms, beverage manufacturing depends on a well-organised plant layout, controlled material flow and equipment that supports consistent production and cleaning. Separation of receiving, preparation, filling, packaging, storage and dispatch areas is a common manufacturing principle because it helps maintain order and reduces unnecessary cross-movement. Personnel competence is also important, since stable production and product consistency depend on how the workplace is managed and operated.

What this standard focuses on in beverage factories

• Structural characteristics: arrangement of production areas, partitioning and workflow
• Management practice: organisation of production and working order
• Personnel: qualifications suited to assigned duties and workplace discipline
• Technical equipment: suitability of machines and production equipment used in manufacturing
• Covered product groups: carbonated soft drinks, cola drinks, soda, diet products, fruit juices and vegetable juices

The standard provides a general framework for the organisation of beverage production facilities rather than product recipes or formulation details. It is centred on the workplace conditions for the factory type named in the title and scope, and it also cites a number of related reference standards used in the sector.
