This guidance document has been produced by the ceda Technical Support Group as a source of unbiased advice on best practice for anyone involved in the provision of a warewashing system.
Clean crockery, glasses and cutlery are not only essential from a hygiene point of view, but they also provide reassurance to customers as part of their eating and drinking experience.
To obtain first class results requires more than a good warewashing machine, it needs an efficient system for collecting and preparing the items for washing and unloading and handling the clean ware. It also needs the correct water condition and chemicals and most importantly, it needs well trained staff.

We understand that some service engineers claim to have been advised by trainers to use a voltage stick to “test for dead” as part of a “safe isolation procedure” (see ceda Guidance document No 37). In the opinion of the ceda Technical Support Group, this is not only bad practice but potentially dangerous.
