For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 cold-chain Based on the characteristics of the goods, logistics technology and organizational systems that are used to keep the goods in the temperature environment required to maintain their quality throughout the process from production to consumption. [Source. GB/T 18354-2021, 5.11] 3.2 traceability system A set of interconnected or interacting elements that support the maintenance of products and their components throughout the supply chain or in parts of production and use, including information such as product history, application status, or location. [Source. GB/T 38155-2019, 2.9] 3.3 supply chain In the production and distribution process, a network structure that is formed around the core products or services of the core enterprise, involving raw material suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, logistics providers, and other necessary links, all the way to the end user. [Source. GB/T 18354-2021, 3.8, modified] 3.4 traceability system Based on traceability codes, document records, related hardware and software equipment, and communication networks, an integration that enables modern information management and allows for the acquisition of relevant data during the product traceability process. [Source. GB/T 38155-2019, 2.6] 3.5 traceability precision The smallest traceable unit in a traceability system. [Source. GB/T 38155-2019, 2.15] 3.6 traceable unit Individual products, products from the same batch, or products of the same category whose history, application, or location information needs to be recorded, identified, and traceable. [Source. GB/T 38155-2019, 2.4] 3.7 traceability code A code that uniquely identifies a traceable unit in the traceability system. [Source. GB/T 38155-2019, 2.10] 3.8 traceability participant Organizations or individuals engaged in domestic customs clearance, production and processing, packaging, warehousing, transportation, distribution, sales, consumption (use) and other related businesses in the supply chain. [Source. GB/T 38155-2019, 2.5, modified] 3.9 cold store Warehouse buildings that utilize artificial refrigeration for cooling and also have thermal insulation functions. NOTE. This includes warehouses, refrigeration rooms, and power distribution rooms. [Source. GB/T 30134-2013, 3.1, modified]4 Overall requirements
4.1 The establishment of a traceability system shall be based on ensuring the quality and safety of imported cold-chain food and domestic public safety, while taking into account regulatory control, cost, and interoperability. 4.2 The traceability system shall cover traceability information for all links in the supply chain, from customs clearance within the country to production, processing, and market circulation. It shall also include recalls and emergency response in the traceability scope. 4.3 The traceability system shall clearly define the responsibilities and requirements of traceability participant. Management and implementation documents for the traceability system shall be developed and standardized. 4.4 All participants involved in the traceability system shall cooperate with each other to achieve the recording, management and sharing of traceability information in key links. 4.5 The traceability system shall fully consider the cost and benefits of system construction, and rationally determine the traceable units based on the characteristics and traceability requirements of the traceable products.5 Traceability process
5.1 Traceability flowchart The traceability process for imported cold-chain food is shown in Figure 1. 5.2 Key aspects Imported cold-chain food generally goes through key stages such as domestic customs clearance, domestic production and processing, market circulation, and end consumption. It also involves cold storage, cold-chain transportation, and distribution. Depending on the actual situation of imported cold-chain food circulation, the stages involved may be the entire process or only some necessary stages (partial stages). 5.3 Traceability participant The traceability participants involved in each stage of the imported cold-chain food distribution process are as follows. a) Domestic customs clearance. entry customs, importing companies, and customs- designated third-party cold storage companies, etc. b) Domestic production and processing. production and processing companies, and companies with their own or third-party cold storage facilities, etc. c) Cold storage. companies with their own or third-party cold storage facilities, etc. d) Cold-chain transportation. shippers, carriers, and consignees, etc. e) Distribution. shippers, carriers, and consignees, etc. f) Market circulation. agricultural wholesale markets, farmers' markets, retail supermarkets, e-commerce platforms, and other circulation companies, and companies with their own or third-party cold storage facilities, etc. g) End-consumer. consumers, catering companies, school canteens, etc.6 Key elements
6.1 Traceability participant 6.1.1 It shall have internal and external traceability capabilities. 6.1.2 Key information such as customs declaration, inspection and quarantine information, origin and destination of goods, quantity and location of goods shall be recorded for each batch of imported cold-chain food. 6.1.3 The internal business processes shall record the events, times, locations, and responsible persons that may affect the quality or safety of imported cold-chain food. 6.1.4 The traceability information for this step shall be recorded, collected, and preserved in accordance with the requirements of 6.4. 6.2 Traceable unit 6.2.1 The traceable unit and traceability accuracy shall be determined based on the characteristics of the traceable product and the traceability requirements. 6.2.2 Taking the traceable unit as the core, determine the traceability code, traceability process, traceability participants and traceability information. 6.3 Traceability codes and identification 6.3.1 Requirements for traceability codes The traceability code for imported cold-chain food shall meet the following requirements. a) The traceability code selects an appropriate coding structure based on traceability accuracy, product characteristics, and current application status. b) The traceability code is assigned when a traceable unit is formed or confirmed. It shall accompany the traceable unit throughout its entire lifecycle, effectively linking and corresponding the traceability code with its related information records. c) The traceability code conforms to the principles of uniqueness, rationality, extensibility, simplicity, applicability, and standardization. The encoding requirements comply with Chapter 7 of GB/T 7027-2002. d) The traceability code is always retained on the product itself, its outer packaging, or accompanying documents. If the product is repackaged or reassembled after being repackaged (cut, split), a new traceability code is assigned and affixed to the new packaging. The new traceability code is linked to the traceability code on the original packaging. e) The traceability code is associated with a unique code that includes information such as the cold-chain facilities and equipment, personnel, and location involved. 6.3.2 Composition of traceability code The traceability code shall include traceability entity information and traceable unit information. It can consist of an entity code, product code, batch code, individual item code, etc. The traceability code structure shall comply with the requirements of Annex A. See Annex B for an example of a traceability code. The traceability code structure shall meet the following requirements. a) When tracing back to the batch, the traceability code includes the main code, product code, and batch code; b) When tracing back to an individual item, the traceability code includes the main code, product code, item code, and/or batch code. 6.3.3 Extended requirements for traceability codes The traceability code structure shall be scalable to meet more traceability needs. The expansion of the traceability code shall meet the following requirements. a) Extended information includes essential details required for product traceability, such as origin, quantity, and weight. b) Within the same traceability code structure, the extended code is unique. 6.3.4 Identification carrier Depending on the actual needs, the identification carrier can be a one-dimensional ......Source: Above contents are excerpted from the full-copy PDF -- translated/reviewed by: www.ChineseStandard.net / Wayne Zheng et al.
