Značaj i uloga privatnih standarda bezbednosti hrane

Abstract

Privatni standardi upravljanja sistemima kvaliteta i bezbednosti hrane po pravilu su dobrovoljni standardi. Međutim, zbog činjenice da je neophodno obezbediti proveru kompetentnosti sertifikacionih tela (onih koji kontrolišu proizvođače i učesnike u lancu snabdevanja hranom) od strane akreditacionih tela i vlasnika standarda, ne može se govoriti o samoregulaciji. Moderna regulatorna država koja nije isključivi regulator tržišta prepoznaje značaj i ulogu privatnih standarda. U protekle dve decenije nastalo je specifično javno-privatno partnerstvo između organa javnih vlasti, vlasnika standarda i posrednika u procesu sertifikacije. Svrha rada je da predstavi ulogu međunarodnih privatnih standarda bezbednosti hrane u pogledu ostvarivanja zaštite od rizika, kao i da ukaže na osnovne zahteve da bi se standardi delotvorno sproveli.

Private food quality and safety management standards are, as a rule, voluntary standards. However, as it is necessary to verify the competence of certification bodies (those controlling producers and participants in the food supply chain) by the accreditation bodies and the standard owners, this is not a case for self-regulation. A modern regulatory state, which is not an exclusive market regulator, recognizes the importance and role of private standards. In the past two decades, a specific public-private partnership has emerged between the public authorities, the owners of standards and mediators in the certification process. The purpose of this paper is to portray the role of international private food safety standards in the field of risk protection, as well as to draw attention to the basic requirements for effective implementation of those standards.
