BS ISO 18537:2015 pdf download.Traceability of crustacean products — Specifications on the information to be recorded in captured crustacean distribution chains
1 Scope
This 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 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 crustacean and their products, from wild-caught through to retailers or caterers.
The types of businesses 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 domains.
Any given crustacean distribution chain may be made up of some or all of the above components but not necessarily in the sequence listed.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 traceability
ability to trace the history, application, or location of that which is under consideration
Note 1 to entry: When considering product, traceability can relate to the following:
— origin of materials and parts,
— processing history, and
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 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 globally 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 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 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 locally 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.
