BS PAS 1550:2017

BS PAS 1550:2017 gives recommendations for exercising due diligence in relation to Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing [1] ("EU IUU Regulation"), and to ensure robust traceability and decent working conditions in the seafood industry.

This PAS gives recommendations on the following.

• a) What are the considerations within a due diligence system in order to minimize the risk of IUU fish/ seafood in the supply chain?
• b) What needs to exist to assure decent conditions at work in the seafood sector?
• c) What traceability systems are used to deliver the ability to verify claims?

This PAS covers those seafood products affected by the EU IUU Regulation [1], a list of which is given in Annex 1 of the Regulation [2]. In addition to those products listed in the Annex of the EU IUU Regulation [1], this PAS applies to all aquatic ingredients used in seafood or products sold into the retail, food service or any other sector that contain aquatic items (e.g. pharmaceuticals, pet food).
