IMPFT152K Principles of bar coding for food and drink
Overview
This standard is about the principles of bar coding for food and drink. It is about understanding bar codes and their application as part of food labelling on food and drink products.
This standard is for you if you are responsible for the bar coding of food and drink products. It is expected that you will control and support others with regard to the implementation of bar coding systems and processes.
Knowledge and understanding
You need to know and understand:
1 the form of a bar code
2 how bar coding stores product data
3 the different types of bar code used in food and drink production
4 the systems, equipment and processes that are required to implement bar coding systems
5 the role of bar coding in product traceability and stock control from food producer to consumer
6 the processes, facilities and equipment that are required to bar code food and food products
7 the organisation and control of bar coding processes
8 the risks associated with inaccurate bar coding
9 common quality problems associated with the bar coding process
10 how to develop contingency processes for dealing with product that has been incorrectly bar coded
11 the quality assurance systems that are required to support bar coding processes
12 the recording and reporting systems that are needed to support bar coding in food and drink production
