  • All openings must be constructed to prevent the accumulation of dirt
  • Windows which can be opened to the outside environment must, where necessary, be fitted with insect-proof screens which can be easily removed for cleaning
  • Where open windows would result in the contamination of foodstuffs windows must remain closed
  • Doors must be easy to clean and where necessary disinfect. A variety of smooth impervious surfaces are available. A cleanable paint or sealed finish would comply. Unsealed wood does not comply.
