19、vices Sector Board at the request in particular of the Department of Health; Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food; the UnitedKingdom Milk Marketing Boards and the National Farmers Union. This code of practice is intended for the use of manufacturers, suppliers and installers of equipment; for
20、 purchasers and producer processors or operators of small dairies; and for those involved in the approval and checking of plant and milk quality and safety. As a code of practice, this British Standard takes the form of guidance and recommendations. It should not be quoted as if it were a specificat
21、ion and particular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are not misleading. The BSI Committee wishes to acknowledge the assistance of the Society of Dairy Technology who have given permission to use information from their Pasteurizing Plant Manual in this text. A British Standard
22、 does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an

24、neral 1.1 Scope This British Standard gives recommendations for the process principles, design features and operation of equipment used on individual farms by producer processors and in small dairies for the pasteurization of cows milk by means of the holder (batch) and continuous flow (HTST) method
25、s. Guidance is given on the requirements of UK and EEC legislation for dairies concerning pasteurized milk. Guidance is also given on the hygienic and control measures used in the pasteurization process and packaging operations which are necessary to achieve safety and high quality in pasteurized mi
26、lk. For convenience a list of the legislation referred to in this standard is given in Annex A. A bibliography of relevant publications is given in Annex B. This standard does not cover specific recommendations for the pasteurization of cream, ice cream or flavoured milks. NOTELevels of heat treatme
27、nt in this standard are not necessarily appropriate for cream, ice cream and flavoured milks. Separation of milk for other products should be undertaken before pasteurization. 1.2 References 1.2.1 Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from
28、 other publications. These normative references are made at the appropriate places in the text and the cited publications are listed on the inside back cover. For dated references, only the edition cited applies; any subsequent amendments to or revisions of the cited publication apply to this standa

Editio
30、ns of these publications current at the time of issue of this standard are listed on the inside back cover, but reference should be made to the latest editions. 1.3 Definitions NOTEThe meaning of terms used in the United Kingdom legislation concerning milk production, pasteurized milk, semi-skimmed
