Australia Food Standards Code Standard 3.2.3 Food Premises and Equipment cl10: Clause 10 Floors

Floors are designed and built appropriately for the activities carried out. They can be effectively cleaned, cannot absorb grease, food particles or water, are laid so that water does not pond, and as far as practicable give pests nowhere to harbour. Floors of temporary premises (including ground surfaces) that are unlikely to create a risk of contaminating food are exempt from those four requirements, and so are other floors unlikely to pose that risk if the business has the enforcement agency's written approval.
