- Covers civil, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical installation issues for the planning, design, construction, commissioning, modification, maintenance and decommissioning of filling stations.
- Provides information aimed at minimizing the risks from fire and explosion, to safety, health and to the environment.
- Describes good practice and certain legal requirements, particularly those applicable in the UK.
- Is primarily intended to be applicable to both new sites and existing sites that are modified/refurbished.

This Code of Practice specifies general hygienic practices for the primary production and packing of fresh fruits and vegetables (cultivated for human consumption) in order to produce a safe and wholesome product, particularly for those intended to be consumed raw. Specifically, this Code is applicable to fresh fruits and vegetables grown in the field (with or without cover) or in protected facilities (hydroponic systems, greenhouses). It concentrates no microbial hazards and addresses physical and chemical hazards only in so far as these relate to Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). This Code does not provide recommendations for handling practices to maintain the safety of fresh fruits and vegetables at wholesale, retail, food services or in the home. It excludes food products for which there is a specific Codex Alimentarius Code of Hygienic Practice. This Code shall be read in conjunction with the latest version of GYS 13, “Specification for food hygiene”.
