Food and drink industry research and technical service provider Campden BRI has issued new guidance for the design of food microbiology laboratories.
The new guidance, available directly from the Gloucestershire-based company, covers the design concepts and safety requirements for UK-based food microbiology laboratories up to and including Containment level 2 (including construction details and installation of equipment).
It also provides a point of reference for the design and safety of the laboratories and will facilitate the identification of key considerations relating to the legislation and best practice, not only for new buildings, but also for updating, refurbishing or extending existing buildings, moving to a different facility and decommissioning.
