EHEDG Subgroup “Welding”
Peter Merhof, GEA Tuchenhagen GmbH, e-mail: peter.merhof@gea.com
The Subgroup started in May 2012 to develop the concept for
the new EHEDG guideline “Inspection of Hygienic Welds”.
It is very important from both a hygienic and economical
point of view that the demands regarding the quality of
welds will be met in tubing systems used for food processing
industry. This document should help the user to identify the
right control method for an efficient and economical testing
of the welds.
The main target group of this document will be the user/
manufacturer in the foot processing industry. Therefor the
document has to be an easily understandable mixture of text
and photos and graphic illustrations.
The accepted inspection methods still in use will be described
including with their advantages and limitations.
Finally the document will give recommendations with the
focus of documentation and shall supply standard operation
procedures.
