Gidsen & regelgeving

Een deadline, een verplichting, een inspectie die eraan komt: deze gidsen zeggen wat u moet doen, in welke volgorde en wat u zult moeten kunnen aantonen. Ze zijn geschreven om te gebruiken met het dossier open ernaast.

Reeksen om te volgen

Sommige artikelen vormen een vervolg: het vierde veronderstelt het eerste. De lijst hieronder geeft ze in leesvolgorde, wat sortering op datum niet kan tonen.

Choosing HACCP software: what really separates the tools

Floor app, proof platform, ERP module: what each family does well and badly, the six questions that commit a vendor, and how to read a quote where the advertised price is almost never the price paid.

Timeline in five milestones covering the first four hours of a recall: 0-15 min alert internally, 15-60 min identify the lots, 1-2 h trace downstream, 2-3 h notify the DDPP and draft the notice, 3-4 h communicate to points of sale

A product recall lands: what to do in the first 4 hours

Whom to alert first, how to identify the affected lots in minutes rather than days, what to write on the recall notice, how to communicate without panicking — a chronological checklist.

Chain of five questions structuring a food-safety management plan: which hazards, where they play out, which thresholds, how you verify, and — flagged in yellow — what you do with a deviation.

Moving your food-safety management plan to digital: a practical guide

What an inspection actually asks for, what you can digitise without changing everything, how to structure records so they hold up under scrutiny — with a starting checklist.

Grid of six cards: exporting everything without going through the provider, in which format, what “having an API” really covers, limits and quotas, documentation readable before signing, exiting the contract — the last two flagged in yellow and red.

Traceability APIs: what to ask a software vendor before you sign

Call rate, export format, guaranteed availability, reversibility: the technical questions a non-developer can ask to assess a traceability API without getting locked into a tool.

Three levels of electronic signature under the eIDAS Regulation: simple, hatched in red; advanced, in yellow; qualified, in green with a full gauge — each with what it requires and what it is worth as evidence.

Digital attestation vs paper certificate: what changes legally

An electronic signature does not carry the same value as a scanned handwritten signature. What the law recognises, and what distinguishes a digital attestation that can be relied upon from a PDF signed by hand and then scanned.

Three stacked tiers — the spreadsheet, SaaS, bespoke — each shown with the threshold beyond which it stops being suitable, and a gauge at the foot of the tier whose length grows with the commitment required.

Choosing a traceability solution: SaaS, bespoke or spreadsheet — the criteria

Three families of solutions, three very different cost structures. How to estimate the real cost of each over three years, not just the entry price, and when a bespoke investment finally makes sense.

Chain of four blocks: the till or ERP with its internal product code, the connector that carries without translating, the traceability tool that expects a GTIN and a batch, then the result — sales with no batch attached.

Integrating your till or ERP with a traceability tool: the integration pitfalls

Two systems that do not speak the same identifier language, a synchronisation that fails silently, double entry that persists despite the integration — the most frequent pitfalls, and how to avoid them before you sign.

Five-phase timeline: a single register to start with, deliberate double entry, train then deploy, stop paper once the mock inspection is passed, and repeat the cycle on the next register.

Migrating from paper traceability to a digital tool: the method

Don’t switch everything over at once, keep paper as a safety net during the transition, and know where to start so you don’t burn out in the first month. The method for digitising traceability without a break.

Traceability data security: what a supplier must guarantee

Who can see your data, where it is hosted, what happens in the event of a breach — the security guarantees to check before entrusting your traceability to a third-party tool, in non-technical language.

Two columns side by side: self-declaration, where the operator asserts, and third-party certification, where an accredited body checks — four characteristics each, including what each one does not cover.

Self-declaration vs third-party certification: the difference that matters to a buyer

A “pesticide-free” claim freely chosen by a producer and a label audited by an independent body do not carry the same evidential weight, even when they look alike on a package. How to tell them apart, and why both have their place.

Handwritten register recording the filing of a trade mark in 1898: the drawing of the mark pasted in the centre, framed by pen annotations, a commercial court stamp, and two signatures — the applicant’s and the chief clerk’s

What a label proves, and what it does not

A logo on a package attests that a specification was followed at a given date, not continuous control nor a guarantee on each individual batch. What certification covers exactly, between the audit and the batch in the customer’s hands.
