1. Floors, walls and partitions, ceilings and roof linings, equipment and instruments used for working on fishery products must be kept in a satisfactory state of cleanliness and repair, so that they do not constitute a source of contamination for the products.
2. Rodents, insects and other vermin must be systematically exterminated in the premises or on the equipment; rodenticides, insecticides, disinfectants and any other potentially toxic substances must be stored in premises or cupboards which can be locked; their use must not present any risk of contamination of the products.
3. Working areas, instruments and working equipment must be used only for work on fishery products. However, following authorization by the food authority they may be used at the same time or other times for work on other foodstuffs.
4. Potable water or clean seawater must be used for all purposes. However, by way of an exception, non-potable water may be used for steam production, fire-fighting and the cooling of refrigeration equipment, provided that the pipes installed for the purpose preclude the use of such water for other purposes and present no risk of contamination of the products.
5. Detergents, disinfectants and similar substances must be acceptable to the food authority and used in such a way that they do not have adverse effects on the machinery, equipment and products.
