Comments to the CNIS' General Technical Specifications for Food Traceability QR Code (Draft for Comments)

2018-11-28 | Beijing, Shanghai

The European Chamber welcomes the decision of the China National Institute of Standardization to publicly call for comments on the General Technical Specifications for Food Traceability QR Code (Draft for Comments). The General Technical Specifications for Food Traceability QR Code (Draft for Comments) specify the food traceability QR code usage principles and objectives, data content and management requirements, which constitutes a positive step in establishing an effective food traceability system. 

However, some important concerns remain regarding the food traceability QR code data content requirements.

Since the General Technical Specifications for Food Traceability QR Code (Draft for Comments) contribute to the establishing of an effective food traceability system, we suggest that the legislature revise or provide additional information on the food traceability QR code data content requirements.
