following facilities and conditions, and such others as may be essential to efficient 
conduct of inspection, shall be provided by each official establishment:

natural light may not be adequate, at places for inspection. Such places shall be kept 
sufficiently free of steam and vapors for inspection to be properly made.

head, tongue, tail, thymus gland, and viscera, and all parts and blood to be used in 
the preparation of meat food products or medical products, until after the post-mortem 
examination is completed, in order that they may be identified in case of condemnation 
of the carcass; equipment, trucks, and receptacles for the handling of viscera of slaugh- 
tered animals so as to prevent contact with the floor; trucks, racks, marked recepta- 
cles, tables, or other necessary equipment for the separate and sanitary handling of 
carcasses or parts passed for sterilization. 
(d) Tables, benches, and other equipment on which inspection is performed, of 
such design, material, and construction as to enable bureau employees to conduct 
their inspection in a ready, efficient, and cleanly manner.

with hot water, stationary washstands, and sanitary tables and other apparatus 
essential to a ready, efficient, and sanitary conduct of the inspection. The floors 
shall be of sanitary construction and shall have proper sewer connections, and when the 
final inspection place is part of a larger floor it shall be separated by a curb and railing.

or receptacle shall be conspicuously marked with the phrase “U. S. retained,” in 
letters not less than 2 inches high. : 
(j) Adequate facilities, including denaturing materials, for the proper disposal 
of condemned articles in accordance with these regulations. Tanks which, under these 
regulations, must be sealed shall be properly equipped for sealing as may be specified
