Where the regulation applies

The regulation covers fishery food products and associated production and distribution processes. Requirements depend on species, processing method and intended use.

What the regulation covers

Assessment covers parasitological and microbiological risks, contaminants and applicable freshness parameters. Temperature control, ice glazing, shelf life and origin traceability are reviewed.

Examples of products and facilities

  • chilled fish
  • frozen fillets
  • canned fish
  • salted fish
  • roe
  • edible crustaceans and molluscs

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK reviews species information, origin records, temperature conditions and test reports and helps identify the assessment route and prepare the required documentation.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.
