Walls and floors are fundamental mandatory inspection items in food production licensing on-site audits. Mastering the following 4 core key points can significantly improve certification pass rates and reduce rectification rework.

1. Prepare Documentation in Advance

• Third-party CMA test reports for wall and floor materials (mold resistance, antibacterial, hazardous substance limits)

• Construction acceptance records, concealed work documentation, product qualification certificates

• Clean zone layout plan with wall and floor material selections marked for each area

2. Prioritize Self-Inspection of Key Areas

Clean operation areas are the core focus of audits — ensure wainscot height, curved corner transitions, mold resistance, and drainage slope all meet standards first. Requirements for general operation areas may be moderately relaxed.

3. Avoid Common Non-Conformance Items

• Prohibited: Using regular household latex paint in place of food-grade anti-mold coatings

• Prohibited: Right-angle wall corners without curved transitions

• Prohibited: Standing water on floors, floor drains without water seals

• Prohibited: Visible mold stains or coating delamination on walls

4. Closed-Loop Rectification Management

If minor non-conformance items are identified during inspection, immediately define the rectification plan and timeline, submit rectification supporting evidence on schedule, and form a complete closed loop to avoid impacting the review timeline.
