China issued the first two-dimensional code coding rules and standards for pesticide products.

On 2016 May 18, the drafting committee proposed by China Pesticide Industry Association, which is composed of pesticide industry experts, manufacturers and enterprises related to QR code technology, was officially released. This is the first standard in China to standardize the QR code coding rules of pesticide product traceability system. The two-dimensional code coding rules of pesticide products aim to ensure the information interconnection in all aspects of pesticide production, circulation and use, as well as the general knowledge of the whole process of products. After the implementation of the standard, the establishment of two-dimensional code traceability system from the source of production will change the situation that traceability information is not smooth and traceability system interfaces are different.

On may 2016 18, the group standard "two-dimensional code coding rules for pesticide products" was officially released. This is the first standard issued by China to standardize the coding rules of two-dimensional code in the traceability system of pesticide products.

The Code Rules of Two-dimensional Code for Pesticide Products was put forward by China Pesticide Industry Association, and a drafting committee composed of pesticide industry experts, production enterprises and enterprises related to two-dimensional code technology was completed. The standard specifies the characteristics, format and symbol quality requirements of the two-dimensional code data structure of pesticide products, and is suitable for information processing and information exchange in the production, transportation, storage, sales, service and traceability of pesticide products.

In recent years, problems such as fake and shoddy pesticides, abuse of highly toxic pesticides, and treatment of packaging waste have attracted more and more attention from the society. Many regions and enterprises are trying to build a two-dimensional code traceability system, but they also face some problems in the application process: First, the information content is not standardized, and the coding and identification are not uniform. Most of the standards of enterprises in different regions are websites (no codes) or only two-dimensional codes with internal codes, which do not really play the role of "identity cards"; Second, the system software is incompatible with traceability information, and resources cannot be shared and exchanged, forming an' information island'. Agricultural retail stores often have several or even a dozen scanning code guns. Third, the self-built safety traceability system of various localities and enterprises leads to many incompatible situations, which is very unfavorable to the construction of big data. Big data emphasizes that enjoying information is one of the important supporting conditions for implementing government and social supervision and government and enterprise decision-making.

The two-dimensional code coding rules of pesticide products aim to ensure the information interconnection in all aspects of pesticide production, circulation and use, as well as the general knowledge of the whole process of products. After the implementation of the standard, the establishment of two-dimensional code traceability system from the source of production will change the situation that traceability information is not smooth and traceability system interfaces are different.

The coding rules of pesticide commodity two-dimensional code take into account the different needs of management departments, such as facilitating reading the data information of highly toxic pesticides according to the coding information of product toxicity grade and facilitating the supervision of highly toxic pesticides; According to the material category code information, the information about the minimum packaging of pesticide products can be read, which is convenient for supervising the treatment and recycling of pesticide packaging waste. Fake and shoddy pesticides can be quickly identified by two-digit code scanning. In addition, the promulgation of this standard and its large-scale adoption by enterprises will greatly promote the "internet plus" of agricultural materials industry, make fake and shoddy agricultural materials have no hiding place, and play a positive role in standardizing the development of the industry and helping the superior and limiting the inferior.

China Pesticide Industry Association will put forward in accordance with the Opinions of General Office of the State Council on Accelerating the Construction of Traceability System for Important Products (Guo Ban Fa (2015) No.95): "Conditional industry associations can invest in building traceability information platforms, guide member enterprises to build traceability systems in a market-oriented way, and form industry demonstration brands. Support qualified industry associations to improve service functions and provide professional services for member enterprises to build traceability systems "requires the establishment of a public service platform for pesticide QR code traceability. On the one hand, the "pesticide QR code traceability platform" provides inquiry and traceability management services for government departments, enterprises and consumers at all levels, and establishes product quality and safety files and corporate reputation files for the industry. At the same time, monitoring industry-related information enhances the early warning and guiding role of information on the development of the industry, and maintains and promotes the healthy development of the industry. On the other hand, enterprises can trace the detailed production, warehousing, logistics and consumer information of products through QR codes, provide real scientific data for their production plans, reduce inventory risks and financial costs, and provide manufacturers with mobile Internet solutions integrating product anti-counterfeiting, anti-smuggling, brand promotion, e-commerce and marketing promotion.
