SAMMENDRAG
Rapporten
Denne rapporten dekker resultatene fra førstegangsrevisjon hos SalMar Nord AS, heretter i rapporten
kalt “Organisasjonen” eller “selskapet” lokalitet 23056 LEKANGSUND II med sikte på å sertifisere denne
matfisk-lokaliteten iht. ASC Salmon Standard V1. Juni 2012.
Revisjonen ble gjennomført over flere dager i en to-ukers periode, grunnet avstander og tilgjengelighet
av personell. Den første delen, ble utført på SalMar Nord AS hovedkontor. Siste del av revisjonen
omfattet også anleggsbesøk på23056 LEKANGSUND II, ble gjennomført for å dekke relevante punkter av
temaer knyttet til sosialt ansvar og gjenværende administrative og tekniske temaer. Revisjonen ble
gjennomført som en dokumentgjennomgang (digital og papir informasjon) i tillegg til intervjuer med
relevant personell, inkludert personell fra anlegget. Praktisk demonstrasjon av utstyr og prosesser
relevant til sertifikat-omfanget, relevant iht. ASC standard versjon 1 og tilhørende retningslinjer i
revisjonsmanualen ASC Salmon Audit manual versjon 1, ble utført.
Med referanse til ASC Farm Certification og Accreditation Requirements 17.3.2 og 17.3.3; siden fisken
ikke hadde nådd slaktestørrelse ved revisjonstidspunktet, ble ikke levering av slaktefisk overvært eller
vurdert under revisjonen QMS systemet som brukes i forbindelse med levering og slakting, samt
prosedyrer, og metoder som benyttes for levering og slakting av laks for lokalitet / selskapet ble vurdert.
Levering av slaktefisk er planlagt observert ved gjennomførelse av overvåkningsrevisjon av
lokalitet/selskap.
Slakting forgår stort sett ved, “Lerøy Aurora, Skjervøy slakteri”, med adresse, Strandveien 4-NO-9180,
Skjervøy, Norge, og unntaksvis ved SalMar AS” (ST-423) adresse 7266 Kverva, Norge. Begge er ASC
CoC sertifisert . Both plants are holding ASC CoC certificates; SalMar AS Certificate No. ASC-C-00345,
DNV GL – Report No. 01, Rev. 01 – www.dnvgl.com
Page 1
valid to 27.01.2017, Lerøy Aurora AS Certificate No. ASC-C-00357, valid to 06.02.2017. Ref. til
www.asc-aqua.org hvor oppdatert informasjon kan finnes.
Siden revisjonsomfanget i ASC Salmon Standard er hele lokaliteten inkludert all laks på lokaliteten og
det faktum at slakteriet/prosess anlegget har en ASC CoC sertifisering, vurderes risikoen knyttet til
substitusjon og blanding av sertifisert med ikke sertifiserte produkter som svært begrenset eller ikke
eksisterende på lokaliteten og inntil punktet når ASC CoC som spesifisert er nødvendig og tar over i ASC
Salmon / ASC CoC sertifiseringsprosessen.
Intervjuene vedrørende sosialt ansvar prinsippene i ASC Salmon Standard ble avholdt i adskilte lokaler.
Forholdene ble tilrettelagt for å sikre uhindret tale og åpne dialoger mellom intervjuer og intervjuobjekt.
Ansatte intervjuet er heller ikke navngitt i rapporten av samme grunn.
VR brukt i revisjonen
VR Nr. 39 for indikator 8.4 om fosfor-utslipp fra smolt-produsent. Rasjonale for bruk av VR Nr.39 er det
samme som for akseptert VR Nr.39:Smoltprodusenten har avløp direkte til sjøvann, ikke direkte til, eller
via ferskvann
Liste over oppdatert dokumentasjon av VR finnes på ASC nettstedet http://www.asc-aqua.org/
Resultater
Evalueringen av selskapets oppfyllelse av kravene i ASC Salmon standarden er beskrevet i detalj senere
i rapporten. Funnene er dokumentert i seksjon 5 og 6 og i vedlegg 2 i denne rapporten. Videre er det
henvist til alle prinsippene i ASC standarden og tilhørende kriterier og underpunkter i ASC revisjonssjekklista for avvikene (vedlegg 2).
Prinsipp hvor det ble oppnådd fult samsvar med krav er:
Prinsipp 1; “Samsvar med gjeldende lokale og nasjonale lover og forskrifter“.
Prinsipp 3; ”Beskytte helse og integritet hos ville bestander”.
Prinsipp 4; “Bruke ressurser på en miljøeffektiv og ansvarlig måte”.
Prinsipp 7; ”Være en god nabo og pliktoppfyllende borger”.
For resterende prinsipper;
Prinsipp 2; “Spar og bevar naturlige habitat lokalt mangfold og økosystemfunksjon”.
Prinsipp 5; “Håndter sykdom og parasitter på en miljømessig forsvarlig måte” og
Prinsipp 6; “Utvikle og drive oppdrett på en sosialt ansvarlig måte”,
Prinsipp 8; ”Standard og krav til smoltleverandør”.
ble ikke fult samsvar med alle krav oppnådd, som følge av dette, ble resultatet et begrenset antall
(Mindre) avvik.
Korrigerende tiltak, tilstrekkelig for å akseptere eller lukke mindre avvik, er dokumentert. Det
har ikke vært henvendelser fra interessenter i publiseringsperioden for foreløpig rapport.
Dette fører til konklusjonen at sertifisering, basert på utkommet av denne
førstegangsrevisjonen, anbefales.
En tilfredsstillende respons fra søkeren for å lukke mindre avvik ihht dokumentert plan for korrigerende
tiltak, forventes å være på plass før periodisk revisjon.
Detaljer vedrørende kriterier for innfrielse av krav finnes i sjekklista for førstegangs-revisjonen (Vedlegg
2).

BESTEMMELSE AV STARTPUNKT FOR COC
•
Produktene omhandlet i omfanget av denne revisjonen og i relevant ASC sertifikat
•
Kan inngå i videre sertifisert produktflyt.
•
Har tillatelse til å bære ASC etikett.
•
Bestemmelsen er basert på vurderingen av punktene beskrevet i følgende avsnitt:
Type
Sporing, sporbarhet og segregering i
oppdrettsoperasjonen.
DNV GL – Report No. 01, Rev. 01 – www.dnvgl.com
Vurdering
Selskapet har et robust og godt implementert
kvalitetssystem, som dekker hele organisasjonen
fra egg/smolt til ferdig slaktet fisk. Selskapet er
sertifisert i henhold til GlobalGAP i hele
verdikjeden.
Dokumenter beskriver tilfredsstillende kontroll
med innkommende produkter, fra egen
Page 7
ferskvannsanlegg og tilhørende dokumenter
identifiserer produksjonsanlegget, leverandørlister
og mottaks kontroll, både i slakteri og
videreforedling. Digital informasjon håndtert i Fish
Talk for alle ferskvannstadier og vekstfase sjø.
Etterfølgende slakting håndteres i prosess,
logistikk og salgs-systemet Maritech Dette
omfatter også tilstrekkelig informasjon om
sporbarhet fra stamfisk og rogn til slaktefisk,
innkjøp, fakturaer og leverandørregister.
Bruk av brønnbåt.
Godkjente operatører og punkt (er) for
landing.
Muligheten for å byte ut sertifisert produkt
med ikke sertifisert produkt innenfor
sertifiseringsenheten.
Punkt i prosessen hvorfra Chain of Custody
sertifikat er påkrevd.
7
Kun godkjente brønnbåter brukes i forbindelse
med transport av slaktefisk til ventemerder og
slakteri/prosessanlegg.
Biosikkerhets lovgivning og implementert QMS
styringssystem og prosedyrer ved lokalitet og i
selskapet hindrer brønnbåter fra å laste fisk fra
andre oppdrettsanlegg i området sammen med
fisk fra revidert lokalitet. Muligheten for blanding
av laks ved overføring til ventemerd med laks fra
andre oppdrettslokaliteter er også forhindret av
biosikkerhets lovgivning, samt ved implementert
QMS styringssystem og prosedyrer ved
lokalitet/selskap og ved slakteri/prosessanlegg.
Det slaktes fisk fra kun en ventemerd om gangen
og fisk fra forskjellige anlegg blandes ikke i
ventemerd.
Slaktefisk som transporteres er alltid identifiserbar
på produksjonsnivå (merd).
All informasjon fra oppdrettsanlegg til
slakteri/prosessanlegg er tilgjengelig og sporbar i
elektronisk systemer; Mercatus AquaFarmer
(settefisk og matfiskproduksjon) og Maritech
slakteri/prosessanlegg.
ASC CoC sertifisert slakteri benyttes.
ASC CoC sertifisert slakteri benyttes.
Ingen risiko for substitusjon av sertifisert med
ikke-sertifisert produkt innenfor revisjonsomfanget
siden all laks ved lokaliteten er innenfor omfanget
av ASC Salmon Standard revisjonen.
Produktet er autorisert til å inngå i ASC Chain of
Custody sertifisering fra det punktet der fisken
overflyttes fra brønnbåt og pumpes over i
ventemerder eller direkte inn på slakteriet. Fra
dette punktet stopper ASC Salmon Standard
sertifikatet og ASC CoC sertifikatet tar over.

The manual is complemented by a separate pre-audit checklist that outlines the minimum information that a client must have prior to the first audit. Prior to audit, the client and their conformity assessment body (CAB) shall reach agreement on
whether the audit requires visits to both the client headquarters and the farm site, which information is held at each location, and the acceptable format of records (e.g. electronic or hard copy files).
