BS EN 17099:2020,Information technology – Fishery and aquaculture products – Requirements for labelling of distribution units and pallets in the trade of fishery and aquaculture products.BS EN 17099:2020 pdf free download.
This document provides information for the labelling of distribution units (boxes, cartons, bags, etc. ) and logistic units (pallets, cages, trolleys etc in the trade of fishery and aquaculture products. The data to be included on the labels will help to ensure that the correct traceability information is available throughout the supply chain, both nationally and internationally. The use of standardized labelling will help to increase efficiency and reduce costs thereby adding valu across the supply chain. In addition, correct labelling will enhance traceability, increase trust in the origin and quality of the product, and ultimately improve both food safety and the supply of fresher fishery and aquaculture products.
Standardized labels used on distribution units in the fishery and the aquaculture supply chain will ensure that information is provided in both human readable text and bar codes when required by this document. This enables parties involved in the supply chain to identify and manage the transport of goods and exchange information in a more efficient and reliable way International standards and guidelines relevant to the exchange of the data attributes contained in bar codes are referenced in this document
This document addresses the provision of traceability information only by the use of labels, however other means can also be used to provide traceability information. When appropriate, it is allowed to label a lot containing a digitally readable alphanumeric code that is part of the identification number. The prerequisite is that the alphanumeric code is linked to a database containing the EU regulation traceability attributes.
BS EN 17099:2020 specifies requirements for labels to be used on distribution units (boxes, cartons, bags, etc. ) and logistic units (pallets, cages, trolleys, etc, ) for fishery and aquaculture products, ensuring uniform labels with human readable text and bar codes using a common data set, thereby fulfiling EU Regulations and facilitating traceability.
BS EN 17099:2020 does not cover requirements on the labelling or marking of consumer packaging but aims to ensure that the necessary information for consumer packaging labelling or marking is available through the supply chain.
