9. Cleaning and equipment control

Cleaning must be part of the company's preventive system. Removing visible residues is not always sufficient; the procedure must be appropriate for the type of surface, equipment and product used.

• Define what is cleaned, which product is used and how often.
• Follow the instructions for cleaning and disinfection products.
• Prevent cleaning equipment from becoming a source of contamination.
• Pay special attention to equipment that is difficult to dismantle or has areas where residues accumulate.
• Verify the effectiveness of the procedure when necessary.
