In the years 2011 to 2012, the Ukrainian Regional EHEDG
Section was engaged in a number of projects. As it has
become our usual routine, the main effort has been assigned
to the translation and adaptations of the EHEDG Guidelines
to the Ukrainian State Standards where applicable. On top
of the listed in the previous issue of EHEDG Yearbook, the
following Guidelines are ready for publication:
• Doc. 9 Welding stainless steel to meet hygienic
requirements.
• Doc. 10 Hygienic design of closed equipment for the
processing of liquid food.
Guidelines Doc. 11 through to Doc. 17 are currently in the
process of being adaptated to the Ukrainian Standards.
We have finalized translation of the EHEDG webpage into
Ukrainian and also developed a website of the Ukrainian
Regional EHEDG Section linked to the main EHEDG web
site.
The Ukrainian Regional EHEDG Section has developed
a program of teaching materials including a syllabus of
the MS lecture course “Food Safety and Hygienic Design
and Operation of Food Manufacturing Equipment”. The 18
hours course contains a brief account of food contamination
sources, case studies, and practical examples. The course
also contains the EHEDG cleanability testing procedure
film subtitled in Ukrainian and Russian. The course will be
introduced at the National University of Food Technologies
(Kyiv) for MS students majoring in Mechanical Engineering
in 2013 year.
During this period we have held three EHEDG-UkrUFoST
Conferences aimed at strengthening our relations with
the industry, engagement of new members, and the
popularisation of EHEDG practices.
At the Conference held on April 4, we presented the
Guidelines that had been properly prepared for publication
and explained the procedure of EHEDG Certification to the
representatives of the industry.
In September 2012, the Ukrainian Regional EHEDG Section
became a co-organizer of the Round Table which was
conducted within a framework of the National Exhibition
INTERPRODMASH. The issues of the EHEDG activities in
the EU and in Ukraine were among the topics discussed at
the Round Table. The representatives of Dutch companies
active in Ukraine with their presentations paid special
attention to the necessity to comply with the EHEDG
Guidelines on every stage of the technological process.
Huub Lilieveld, honorary representative of the EHEDG,
co-chaired the event together with Professor Yaroslav
Zasyadko, Ukrainian Regional EHEDG Section Executive
Director, and gave comprehensive presentations describing
the EHEDG activities.
Recently, we have established a number of useful contacts
with the industry and with the National Certification Bodies.
UkrEHEDG were invited to give a presentation depicting
the EU Food Safety Regulations and Legal Practices and
the EHEGD activities by the Ukrainian State Enterprise
UKRMETROTESTSTANDARD which is the main Ukrainian
Body responsible for all aspects of certification, testing and
standardisation of food products in Ukraine. As a result of
the meeting we have jointly marked some steps that may
lead to common projects in the future.
