With the full support from the Japan Food Machinery
Manufacturers‘ Association (FOOMA), EHEDG JAPAN
mainly pursues the following activities: Translation of
EHEDG guidelines, holding seminars on EHEDG guidelines,
and EHEDG PR activities.
Translation of EHEDG guidelines
EHEDG JAPAN considers the translation of EHEDG
guidelines to be its foremost task.
In Japan, there is a strong need for translations of the
following guidelines: Doc. 9, Doc. 18, Doc. 20, Doc. 23, Doc.
32, and Doc. 37. EHEDG JAPAN set up a special translation
working group for each of these documents.
The translations of Doc. 20 and Doc. 23-2 have already
been completed.
Seminars on EHEDG guidelines, and EHEDG
PR activities
Every year in June, FOOMA organises the “FOOMA
JAPAN“, a comprehensive exhibition on food machinery and
technology industry. About 650 companies from all over the
world participate in this exhibition. The number of visitors
runs up to about 100,000. This year, FOOMA JAPAN was
held for four days from June 5 through 8 at Tokyo Big Sight.
Throughout the exhibition period, EHEDG JAPAN performed
PR activities at a booth provided by FOOMA and held a free
seminar to make EHEDG guidelines known.
EHEDG seminar
To spread the knowledge about EHEDG guidelines, EHEDG
JAPAN held a free seminar intended for food machinery
manufacturers and food manufacturing engineers in Japan.
EHEDG President Mr. Lorenzen was invited as a lecturer
(Fig 3/4).
• Topic: Materials of Construction for Equipment Coming
into Contact with Food (Doc. 32)
• Date and time: June 6, 10:00–12:30
• Attendants: 230 people
With the first FOOMA JAPAN having been held in 2009,
EHEDG JAPAN this year already held its fourth EHEDG
seminar. The audience has increased every year. This year,
with an audience of 232 people, the venue was almost bookedout.
(The number was 180 last year.) All these activities have
boosted publicity for EHEDG in Japan considerably.

At the EHEDG booth (Fig. 1), EHEDG pamphlets and
yearbooks were distributed to visitors. In addition, panel
displays were set up to explain the hygienic structure of food
processing machines as defined in the Codex Alimentarius
Commission’s “Food Hygiene – Basic Texts” and ISO/JIS, as
well as the relationship between these documents.
