New Guidelines Set for Food Trucks in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi Civil Defence (ADCD) has unveiled technical specifications and safety conditions for licensing of food trucks.

Kitchens must be equipped with an automatic fire suppression system, and liquefied petroleum gas cylinders must be firmly fitted in the back of the truck, Gulf News quoted the new guidelines as advising.

Gas leak sensors must also be present, and the total amount of cylinders is limited to two, not exceeding a capacity of 20kg, the report said.

The food trucks must run on diesel, and the vehicle’s load cannot exceed the weight authorised by the Traffic Department. The truck must have rear dual tyres, be properly ventilated, as well as equipped with two fire extinguishers, the guidelines added.

The department is keen on implementing preventative and safety terms and regulations on all residential, industrial and commercial establishments, including food trucks, Colonel Mohammad Abdul Jaleel Al Ansari, Director-General of ADCD, reportedly said.

This will ensure the safety of food trucks’ employees and customers, he reportedly said, adding that ADCD is keen on working with establishments and relevant authorities to ensure the safety and security of establishments and economic activities.
