SS 670:2021 Specification for Good Aquaculture Practice

​

Overview

SS 670:2021 is Singapore’s national standard for Good Aquaculture Practices (GAP), providing a comprehensive framework to ensure safe, responsible and sustainable aquaculture production. The standard outlines requirements across farm management, environmental stewardship, biosecurity, feed and water quality control, harvesting practices, and post-harvest handling to ensure fish and seafood are produced in a safe and hygienic manner.

​

Why SS 670:2021 Matters

Certification to SS 670:2021 demonstrates that aquaculture operations follow recognised best practices that safeguard food safety, protect the environment and promote responsible farming. It strengthens buyer and consumer confidence, supports regulatory compliance, and enhances market acceptance of locally farmed products.
