EU Catch Certificate
This section delineates the requirements of the EU Catch Certificate and shows how GDST compliant event data can be utilized to meet the requirements for the EU Catch Certficiate. We start with a review of the GS1 Foundation for Fish Seafood Aquaculture Traceability Guideline which documents required CBV KDEs for meeting the EU Catch Certificate guidelines. The below table is a reference point to this documentation with associated EPCIS XML attributes. To see how each KDE ties to the EU regulations, please see page 53 in the GS1 documentation linked above.
EU Regulations define the ability to specify a number of vessels when the vessels are small enough. GDST compliance requires each Vessel's information and does not allow this so these scenarios will not be covered here.
Required KDEs
| KDE | Description |
|---|---|
| GTIN | This can be derived from the EPC of the Product Instance. |
| Lot | When a GTIN.LotNumber is being used for the EPC, this is easily derivable from the EPC. Otherwise you will need to perform a Trace Back on the EPC until you find the Processing Event where the GTIN.LotNumber is being defined. Generally a Processing (Transformation) will have outputs defined with GTIN.LotNumber that are later packaged into GTIN.SerialNumber EPCs. |
| Quantity Net Weight | This can be calculated using the <quantity> and <uom> elements in the <quantityElement>s found throughout the EPCIS events. If the <epcList> is used with cases, then you look up the case weight either in the <ilmd> data or the Master Data associated with the GTIN of the EPC. |
| Expiration Date / Best Before Date | This can be found in the <ilmd> data of the TRANSFORMATION ADD or OBJECT ADD event that created the product. The <cbv:itemExpirationDate> attribute is used to specify this information. |
| Fishing Vessel GLN | This is the GLN from the <bizLocation> on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. |
| Fishing Vessel Name | This can be found in the <vesselCatchInformation> of the <ilmd> data under the element <cbvmda:vesselName> on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. This can also be found in the Master Data of the Fishing Vessel with the attribute id urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#vesselName that can be looked up using the GLN from the <bizLocation> on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. |
| Flag State of the Vessel | This can be found in the in the <vesselCatchInformation> of the <ilmd> data under the element <cbvmda:vesselFlagState> on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. This can also be found in the Master Data of the Fishing Vessel with the attribute id urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#vesselFlagState that can be looked up using the GLN from the <bizLocation> on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. |
| Production Unit GLN | The GLN or other identifier of the Fishing Vessel that caught the original fish or the GLN of the Aquaculture Facility where the original fish was produced. In the case of wild-caught, this is the GLN of the <bizLocation> found on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. In the case of farmed, this is the GLN of the <bizLocation> found on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:farmEvent. |
| Production Unit Name | Either the name of the Fishing Vessel or the Aquaculture Facility where the product was produced, depending on farmed or wild-caught. In the case of wild-caught, you take the GLN of the <bizLocation> on the event with a business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent and look up the urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#vesselName or urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#name on the Master Data associated with that GLN. In the case of farmed, you take the GLN of the <bizLocation> on the event with a business step urn:gdst:bizStep:farmEvent and look up the urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#name on the Master Data associated with that GLN. |
| Fish Species | This can be found in the Master Data of the Product. This Master Data can be located using the GTIN of the Product. In the EPCIS Master Data, this attribute would be speciesForFisheryStatisticsPurposesCode |
| Scientific Name | This can found in the Master Data of the Product. This Master Data can be located using the GTIN of the Product. In the EPCIS Master Data, this attribute would be speciesForFisheryStatisticsPurposesName. |
| Commercial Designation | This can found in the Master Data of the Product. This Master Data can be located using the GTIN of the Product. In the EPCIS Master Data, this attribute would be urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda:tradeItemDescription. |
| Catch Area | This can be found in the in the <vesselCatchInformation> of the <ilmd> data on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. This is found in the <cbvmda:catchArea> attribute. |
| Catch Certificate ID | This can be found on the certificate with the type urn:gdst:certType:catch_certificate on the on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. In the certificate, the Catch Certificate ID is recorded using the <certificationIdentification> element. |
| Catch Date(s) | This can be found by doing a Trace Back on the product and looking at the <eventTime> on each event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. |
| External Vessel ID | This can be found in the in the <vesselCatchInformation> of the <ilmd> data under the element <cbvmda:vesselID> on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. This can also be found in the Master Data of the Fishing Vessel with the attribute id urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#vesselID that can be looked up using the GLN from the <bizLocation> on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. |
| Supplier GLN | The supplier would be the Trading Partner supplying the products to the EU. In this case you are looking for the PGLN (party GLN) of the supplier of the products to the EU. |
| Supplier Name | Given the Supplier (P)GLN, you need to look up the Master Data associated with that PGLN and provide the name. In EPCIS Master Data this would be the urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#name attribute. |
| Supplier Address | Given the Supplier (P)GLN, you need to look up the Master Data associated with that PGLN and provide the address. In EPCIS Master Data this would be the following attributes: urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#streetAddressOne, urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#streetAddressTwo, urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#city, urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#state, urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#postalCode, urn:epcglobal:cbv:mda#countryCode |
| Production Method | This must either be caught, caught in freshwater, or farmed. This can be indicated through the <cbvmda:productionMethodForFishAndSeafoodCode> in the <vesselCatchInformation> on the event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:fishingEvent. |
| First Freeze Date | This can be indicated in multiple ways. The first way is that on the <ilmd> data there is a possible attribute that can be expressed called <cbvmda:firstFreezeDate> that can be used to indicate this. The next way is that the first event with the business step urn:gdst:bizStep:freezing in the product's direct history, meaning only CTEs that directly occured to this product following its OBJECT ADD or TRANSFORMATION ADD event. |
| Storage State Code | This indicates if the product has previously been frozen or not. This can be determined by looking if there is a First Freeze Date. To look for this please see the above KDE. |
