Subpart B Buildings and Facilities
Sec. 129.20 Plant construction and design.
(a) The bottling room shall be separated from other plant operations
or storage areas by tight walls, ceilings, and self-closing doors to
protect against contamination. Conveyor openings shall not exceed the
size required to permit passage of containers.
(b) If processing operations are conducted in other than a sealed
system under pressure, adequate protection shall be provided to preclude
contamination of the water and the system.
(c) Adequate ventilation shall be provided to minimize condensation
in processing rooms, bottling rooms, and in container washing and
sanitizing areas.
(d) The washing and sanitizing of containers for bottled drinking
water shall be performed in an enclosed room. The washing and sanitizing
operation shall be positioned within the room so as to minimize any
possible post-sanitizing contamination of the containers before they
enter the bottling room.
(e) Rooms in which product water is handled, processed, or held or
in which containers, utensils, or equipment are washed or held shall not
open directly into any room used for domestic household purposes.
