10、ation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that commit
11、tee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordanc
12、e with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires a
13、pproval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 12877 was prepared by Technical Com
14、mittee ISO/TC 234, Fisheries and aquaculture. BS ISO 12877:2011ISO 12877:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved vIntroduction There are increasing demands for detailed information on the nature and origin of food products. Traceability is becoming a legal and commercial necessity. The ISO definition o
15、f traceability concerns the ability to trace the history, application and location of that which is under consideration, and for products this can include the origin of materials and parts, the processing history and the distribution and location of the product after delivery. Traceability includes
16、not only the principal requirement to be able to physically trace products through the distribution chain, from origin to destination and vice versa, but also to be able to provide information on what they are made of and what has happened to them. These further aspects of traceability are important
17、 in relation to food safety, quality and labelling. The scheme specified in this International Standard does not demand perfect traceability, i.e. that a particular retail product should be traceable back to a single farm and batch of origin, or vice versa from origin to destination. Pragmatically,
18、it is recognized that mixing of units is likely to occur at a number of stages in the distribution chains, e.g. in grading at auction markets prior to sale and in the processing of raw materials into products. Where such mixing occurs, the food business is transforming the trade units. The requireme
19、nt for traceability is that the business records the IDs of the received trade units that may be input to each created trade unit, and vice versa. The particular product is then traceable back to a finite number of farms and batches of origin, and vice versa. Given the enormous variety of fish produ
20、cts and of their distribution chains that operate within and between different countries, and varying legal requirements, the information specifications cannot itemize all the information that may possibly be required in every situation. This International Standard provides a generic basis for trace
21、ability. Flexibility is allowed for businesses to record further information, in their own non-standardized files, but keyed to the same unit IDs. The information remains in the ownership of the food business that generated it, but is available when required by law for the purposes of traceability (
22、in the event of a food safety problem) or by commercial agreement between businesses. The structure, names and content of the information is standardized so that it can be readily communicated from business to business through the distribution chains, ensuring common understanding of terms and meani
23、ngs. Commercial arrangements for businesses to communicate information through the distribution chains are to be encouraged, particularly for the information desired by the trade to be visible at the various transaction points in the chains, but that is not the subject of this International Standard
24、. This International Standard is designed with electronic representation and communication of data in mind, but this is not a requirement when using this International Standard. The specifications can be met by paper systems, although the obvious benefits of business efficiency, including rapid comm
25、unication, will be lost.

26、nformation to be recorded in farmed finfish supply chains in order to establish the traceability of products originating from farmed finfish. It specifies how traded fishery products are to be identified, and the information to be generated and held on those products by each of the food businesses t
27、hat physically trade them through the distribution chains. It is specific to the distribution for human consumption of farmed finfish and their products, from finfish meal, breeding and finfish farming through to retailers or caterers. NOTE Together with ISO 12875 for captured finfish, this Internat
28、ional Standard provides a basis for implementing chain traceability of finfish. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

39、y GS1 used to identify logistics units TU Trade Unit 5 Principle The fundamental principle of chain traceability is that Trade Units (TU) shall be identified by unique codes (UI). This code may be globally unique in itself (for instance the GS1 SGTIN or EPC numbers) or it could be unique in that par
40、ticular scope only, which means that there should be no other TUs in that part of the chain that may have the same number. If the scope (the company, the chain, the sector, the country, the product type, or similar) is assigned a globally unique number, the combination of the globally unique scope n
41、umber and the locally unique TU number shall constitute a globally unique identifier for the TU. NOTE 1 The UTUI term is introduced to indicate a TU identifier which is, or can be made, globally unique. TUs may be grouped together to make Logistic Units (LUs) or LUs may be grouped together to make h
42、igher level LUs. A fundamental principle of chain traceability is that logistic units shall be identified by a unique code. This code may be globally unique in itself (for instance the GS1 SSCC code) or it could be unique in that particular scope only, which means that there should be no other LUs i
43、n that part of the chain that may have the same number. If the scope (the company, the chain, the sector, the country, the product type, or similar) is assigned a globally unique number, the combination of the globally unique scope number and the locally unique LU number shall constitute a globally
44、unique identifier for the LU. NOTE 2 The ULUI term is introduced to indicate a LU identifier which is, or can be made, globally unique. The key to the operation of this traceability scheme is the labelling of each unit of goods traded, whether of raw materials or finished products, with a unique ID.
45、 This shall be done by the food business that creates each unit. Businesses that transform units, such as processors who convert the units of raw materials received into the products dispatched, shall create new units and shall give them new IDs. As indicated above, the simplest way of implementing
46、UTUIs and ULUIs is to use the GS1 SGTIN/EPC and SSCC codes. This practice is recommended, but is not mandatory. The central principle behind this International Standard is that businesses which create TUs or LUs should assign unique numbers to them. Each of the food businesses that create or physica
47、lly trade in those units, throughout the distribution chains from catcher through to retailer or caterer, shall generate and hold the information necessary for traceability. The information is to be held on paper or electronically, keyed to the unit IDs. The types of businesses identified in this In
48、ternational Standard for farmed finfish distribution chains are as follows: fish feed production, see 6.3; breeders, see 6.4; hatcheries, see 6.5; fish farms, see 6.6; live fish transporters, see 6.7; processors, see 6.8; transporters and storers, see 6.9; traders and wholesalers, see 6.10; BS ISO 1
