The EFTCO Food Asessment is meant for companies that are in the business of tank/tanktrailer and silo/silotrailer cleaning. The questionnaire can be used by companies that are involved in cleaning tanks/silo’s that contained foodstuffs and that would like to comply with Food Safety and Food Defense principles.
The participation in the assessments is not mandatory, however highly recommended for tank cleaning stations with foodstuff cleaning lanes/bays.
The assessment is carried out in addition to the SQAS Cleaning Station assessment. It may be carried out later than this assessment. So one can decide at a later stage, to add the Food asessment to the scope. The expiry date of the assessment report is 3 years but the validity is linked to the validity of the SQAS Cleaning Station Assessment report. The EFTCO Food Assessment must be carried out by the same assessor that conducted the SQAS Cleaning Station assessment.
The questionaire and the guidelines can be downloaded from EFTCO’s website.
