We understand the critical role hygiene plays in the food industry. That is why we have developed our HACCP-certified workwear collection – to support food professionals with garments that meet the highest standards of safety, comfort, and functionality.
What is HACCP?
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a food safety management system used globally to identify, evaluate, and control hazards throughout food production. It focuses on preventing contamination rather than reacting to it after the fact. Compliance with HACCP is often a legal requirement, especially in regulated industries like food manufacturing and processing.
The role of DIN 10524
DIN 10524 is a German standard that outlines hygiene requirements for workwear in the food industry. It supports HACCP implementation by ensuring that garments used in food environments meet specific hygiene and design criteria – such as using easy-to-clean materials, eliminating pockets in high-risk zones, and minimizing seams where bacteria can accumulate.
The standard divides workwear into three hygiene risk classes, depending on the risk of food contamination in different environments:
