European foreword
This document (EN 17099:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 225 “AIDC
technologies”, the secretariat of which is held by TSE.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of
an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2020, and conflicting national
standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary,
Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
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 value
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 labelling will enhance the quality and availability of traceability data and support
the interoperability between information technology systems.
Improved traceability will make it more difficult to trade illegal, unreported and unregulated
fishery and aquaculture products.
The information to be provided on the labels relates to EU Regulations and other information that
could be required across the supply chain.
The distribution of fishery and aquaculture products has the following distinctive features:
— they constitute exports to every continent;
— they are covered by national and international legislation;
— there are requirements regarding the processing of fishery and aquaculture products, and the
documentation of these processes;
— shared distribution centres are used for loading or repackaging;
— buyers and sellers are not always known at the time of production.
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.
1 Scope
This document 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
fulfilling EU Regulations and facilitating traceability.
NOTE Other labelling systems could also address European regulatory requirements.
This document does not address the exchange of any information by means other than the use of
labels
The technologies referred to in this document are examples of methods that are suitable to
provide product traceability.
This document 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.
