This standard is about the principles of labelling of food and drink. It is about understanding the importance of food labelling as it relates to food safety information, legal and commercial requirements.
This standard is for you if you are responsible for the labelling of food and drink products, in terms of both controlling the processes used and the details included on the labelling itself. It is expected that you will control and support others with regard to the implementation of effective labelling processes.

5 the labelling schemes and protocols that are used to inform the public of food nutritional content and how they differ
6 the role of labelling in product traceability and control
7 the processes, facilities and equipment that are required to label food
8 how to interpret specifications to obtain food data for inclusion in labelling specifications
9 how to develop, consult and agree labelling specifications
10 what arrangements are necessary to implement and communicate labelling specifications
11 the different ways that food data can be misrepresented by non-compliant labelling descriptions
12 the organisation and control of labelling processes
