EHEDG proactively supports European legislation, which requires that the handling, preparation processing, and packaging of food is done hygienically using hygienic machinery and in hygienic premises in accordance with the food hygiene directive, the machinery directive, and the food contact materials directive (see EC Directive 2006/42/EC for Machinery, EN 1672-2 and EN ISO 14159 on Hygiene requirements for the design of machinery).

Equipment manufacturers and users are responsible to implement these requirements and EHEDG provides guidance on the essential hygienic design standards in compliance with national and international legislation.
