In 1998, the CNAMTS, with the help of AFSSA (Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments), CSTB (Centre scientifique et technique du bâtiment) and INRS (Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique), drew up a guide to floor coverings meeting the criteria of "Hygiene – Safety – Fitness for use" for food manufacturing premises. This guide, which has no regulatory status, provides guidelines for applying the regulations....
