10、S ISO 18539:2015ISO 18539:2015(E)ForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body inter
11、ested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
12、 Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO docume
13、nts should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).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
14、 for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).Any trade name used in this document is information given for th

16、reword - Supplementary informationThe committee responsible for this document ISO/TC 234, Fisheries and aquaculture.iv ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 18539:2015ISO 18539:2015(E)IntroductionThere are increasing demands for detailed information on the nature and origin of food products. Traceabili
17、ty is becoming a legal and commercial 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 his
18、tory and the distribution and location 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 ar
19、e made of and what has happened to 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 is to be traceable back to a
20、 capture operator and batch of origin. 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,
21、there will be occasions where whole 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 disadvant
22、age otherwise compliant operators. Where 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
23、can be input into each subsequently 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 molluscan product
24、s 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 can possibly be required in every situation. This International Standard provides a generic basis for traceab
25、ility. Flexibility is allowed for businesses 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 t
26、he event of a food safety problem) 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
27、.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.Alt
28、hough this International Standard is designed with electronic representation and communication of data in mind, the specifications can be met by paper systems.

29、ecorded in captured molluscan distribution chains1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies the information to be recorded in wild-caught molluscs supply chains in order to establish the traceability of products originating from wild-caught molluscs. It specifies how molluscan products traded are
30、to be identified and the information 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 molluscs and their products, from wild caught through to retailers or
31、 caterers.The types of businesses identified in this International Standard for wild-caught molluscan distribution chains are the following: capture; landing business and first sale; depuration and shucking, etc.; processors; transporters and store operators; traders and wholesalers; retailers and c
32、aterers; logistics including materials brought from other domains.Any given molluscan distribution chain can 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

49、 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 particular scope only, which means that it should be no other TUs in that part of the chain that might have the same number. If the scope (product type, company, chain, sector, country, or similar) is assigned globally unique number, the combination of the globally unique scope number and the locally unique TU number shall constitute a globally unique identifier for the TU.NOTE 1
