T/DAWS 0003-2019 Fruit and vegetable cold chain logistics technical specifications
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This standard specifies the terminology and definitions of cold chain logistics for fruits and vegetables, as well as requirements for packaging, pre-cooling at the source, storage, transportation, sales terminals, and information management processes. This standard applies to primary cold chain logistics operations for road transportation of fruits and vegetables. Main technical content: Cold chain logistics refers to a special supply chain system that ensures product quality and safety, reduces losses and pollution, by maintaining products in a suitable low-temperature environment throughout all stages of circulation, processing, storage, transportation, and distribution until final consumption. Cold chain logistics for fruits and vegetables refers to a special supply chain system that uses various artificial refrigeration preservation technologies to keep fruits and vegetables in a suitable low-temperature controlled environment throughout all stages of circulation, processing, storage, transportation, and distribution from the moment they leave the field to the consumer's table, in order to maximally guarantee product quality and safety, reduce losses and pollution. After 40 years of reform and development, China's agricultural structural adjustment has achieved remarkable results, with an increasingly optimized regional and variety distribution, and agricultural product circulation showing characteristics of large-scale, long-distance, and off-season operations, placing higher demands on the scale and efficiency of agricultural logistics services. In particular, the increase in regional large-scale production and off-season sales of fresh agricultural products urgently requires accelerating the development of cross-regional fresh produce preservation and transportation.
