EHEDG Denmark can boast an increase of both company
and individual members that joined the EHEDG. New
members have also joined relevant subgroups to share the
work of determining the future trend for hygienically designed
equipment.

EHEDG Denmark have been actively in contact with
the Danish technical magazines in order to promote the
awareness of hygienic design of processing equipment.
Very good connections have been made with several editors
and journalists from these magazines.

In November 2011, EHEDG Denmark and Staalcentrum
held an international conference “Food Processing Hygiene
– Future demands from markets and Authorities” at Hotel
Comwell in Kolding. Included in the program were more than
60 B2B meetings. Furthermore four workshops covering the
following topics were held: Robots in Production, Alternative
Materials to Stainless Steel, Testing and Certification and
Microbiology.
Since the Danish Technological Institute stopped their
testing and certification, EHEDG Danmark have been
cooperating with the Danish Technical University (DTU)
in Lyngby, north of Copenhagen, in order to transfer the
testing and certification experience to them. The chairman
for the Subgroup for Testing Methods has visited the site
and advised the management at DTU how to proceed. It is
expected that a new test rig will be in operation before the
end of 2012.
In November 2012, a seminar was held in connection with
the FoodTech exhibition in Herning, the subject was new
developments in open equipment design as open and
accessible construction and the importance of integrating
all EHEDG Guidelines when designing processing lines.
The use of certified equipment has to go hand in hand with
hygienic design guidelines for construction. Testing and
certification at DTU was part of the seminar.

The focus of the programme was to look into the future and
see how demands from the market could be implemented in
the future design of equipment as well as the documentation
for hygienic design. More than 70 persons participated in the
2 day programme.
