Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969, Rev. 2022) 9.1.3: 9.1.3 Internal structures and fittings

Internal structures are soundly built from durable, non-toxic and inert materials that can be kept in repair, cleaned and, where required, disinfected without difficulty. Where necessary: walls, partitions and floors are impervious and easy to clean and disinfect; walls and partitions are smooth to a height suited to the operation; floors can be drained and cleaned; ceilings and fixtures overhead are finished to limit dirt, condensation and shedding, and are shatterproof where appropriate; windows are easy to clean, limit dirt build-up and have removable, cleanable insect screens where needed; doors have smooth, non-absorbent surfaces that are easy to clean and disinfect. Food contact work surfaces are sound, durable, smooth, non-absorbent, inert to food, detergents and disinfectants, and simple to keep clean, repaired and disinfected.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 4 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • cl10 Clause 10 Floors
  • cl11 Clause 11 Walls and ceilings

US FDA Food Code 2026 · 2 controls

  • 6-101-6-102 6-101 and 6-102 Materials for indoor and outdoor areas
  • 6-201 6-201 Cleanability of floors, walls and ceilings

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
