1. UN/CEFACT standards for Electronic information exchange Tracking and tracing of animal and plant products
Short overview over the project
Started in 2013
First T&T animals and fish, published in 2016
Now T&T product, to be published in 2017

2. Results UN/CEFACT project Traceability of animal and plant products
A generic model, structure and data formats
All traceability information fits in
All production chains: agricultural products, endangered species, textile industry
All production chains
Implementation guides

3. Activity diagram
Business case is about asking a T&T question and retrieving the T&T data required.
Retrieving of information when info is registered

4. Track and Trace Event recording and data retrieving
What product ID and product type When read and recording date time Where read and business location Who party involved Why process / business step / disposition
Event recording with only identifiers and codes = level 1
Choice of the EPCIS system, developed by GS1 Adapted by UNCEFACT
With the identifiers further search for information is possible: level 2

6. Track and Trace Event Key information entitiesx
TT_ Location
TT_Party
TT_ Processing step
TT_ Animal/Plant
Product
TT_ Transport
Movement
More detailed information entities are linked to or based on these ones
TT_ Transport
Means
Time stamp

7. Level 2
Data model

8. Issues in traceability projects
Sensitive data
Business partners not known
Different business conditions
Product batches are put together, split up or used as inputs
Present information exchange from node to node
A standard is one aspect, the easy part
Development of a traceability chain is complicated
Business operations determine the level of traceability, unless they can be adapted
At present: when there is an issue with a product it takes time to reconstitute the whole supply chain

9. UN/CEFACT T&T standard implementation Stakeholders agree on:
Who registers what information
Who can acces what information
Who is/are repository parties
How the network of repositories will function
Software is developed accordingly

10. Present status Standard published
Tracking and Tracing of animals and fish (2016).
Tracking and Tracing of animal and plant products (2017).
T&T standard published, not implemented

11. Implementation guides
Handbook on electronic business standards for agricultural trade facilitation (Heiner Lehr, UNECE 2016)
Guide for best practice in the set up of traceability projects in cross border trade (Andrew Baxter, UNNExT 2016)
Electronic Product Code Information Services (EPCIS) implementation guideline GS1, 2015

12. To be done Implementation guidelines Compatibility EPCIS – UNCEFACT
T&T textile supply chains?
Compatibility EPCIS – UNCEFACT
Connectivity EPCIS – UNCEFACT is complex in implementation
Additional work on the first level of the standard + implementation guidelines
