Traceability is becoming a legal and commerc
17、ial necessity.The ISO definition of 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 food materials and non food parts thereof, the processing history and the distribution and locat
18、ion of the product after delivery. Traceability includes 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
19、them. These further aspects of traceability are important 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 capture operator and batch of ori
20、gin. Pragmatically it is recognized that mixing of animals or materials is often commercially necessary at a number of stages in the distribution chains, e.g. in grading at first sale prior to sale and in the processing of raw materials into products. As a result there will be occasions where whole
21、chain traceability of materials and products is neither possible nor commercially practical. These limitations are to be recognized and taken into consideration when auditing against this International Standard and are not to preclude compliance so as to disadvantage otherwise compliant operators. W
22、here such mixing necessarily occurs, the food business shall generate a trade unit or units only from the point that identification of units is possible. The requirement for traceability is that the business records the IDs of created or received trade units that may be input into each subsequently
23、created unit thereafter, and vice versa. The particular product or products are then traceable through the supply chain (as far as is practical) to generate information on the maximum number of stages of the chain as possible.Given the variety of crustacean products and of their distribution chains
24、that operate within and between different countries, and varying legal requirements, the information specifications cannot itemise all the information that may possibly be required in every situation. This International Standard provides a generic basis for traceability. Flexibility is allowed for b
25、usinesses to record further information, in their own non-standardised 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 (in the event of a food safety problem)
26、or by commercial agreement between businesses. The structure, names, and content of the information is standardised so that it can be readily communicated from business to business through the distribution chains, ensuring common understanding of terms and meanings.Commercial arrangements for busine
27、sses 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.Though this International Standard is
28、designed with electronic representation and communication of data in mind, the specifications may be met by paper systems.

29、ibution chains1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies the information to be recorded in wild-caught crustacean supply chains in order to establish the traceability of products originating from wild-caught crustacean. It specifies how crustacean products traded are to be identified and the infor
30、mation to be generated and held on those products by each of the food businesses that physically trade them through the distribution chains. It is specific to the distribution for human consumption of crustacean and their products, from wild-caught through to retailers or caterers.The types of busin
31、esses identified in this International Standard for wild-caught crustacean distribution chains are: capture operators; landing businesses and first sale; processors; transporters and store operators; traders and wholesalers; retailers and caterers; logistics including materials brought from other do
32、mains.Any given crustacean distribution chain may be made up of some or all of the above components but not necessarily in the sequence listed.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

44、ierULUI Unique Logistic Unit IdentifierUTUI Unique Trade Unit Identifier5 PrincipleThe 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
45、 unique in that particular scope only, which means that it should be no other TUs in that part of the chain that may have the same number. If the scope (the product type, the company, the chain, the sector, the country, or similar) is assigned a globally unique number, the combination of the globall
46、y unique scope number 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 might be, made globally unique.Trade Units (TUs) may be grouped together to make Logistic Units (LUs) or LUs may
47、 be grouped together to make higher level LUs. A fundamental principle of chain traceability is that logistic units shall be identified by a unique code. This code shall be a national code which may be globally unique in itself (similar to the GS1 SSCC code) or it could be unique in that particular
48、scope only, which means that there should be no other LUs in that part of the chain that may have the same number. If the scope (the product type, the company, the chain, the sector, the country) is assigned a globally unique number, the combination of the globally unique scope number and the locall
49、y unique LU number shall constitute a globally unique identifier for the LU.NOTE 2 The ULUI term is introduced to indicate a LU identifier which is, or might 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. 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 dispatch
