What is TAPA?
What certifications are available in the EMEA region?
Companies can choose the level of certification against these supply chain security standards to meet their own security requirements and those of their customers. Certification is primarily achieved through Independent Audit Bodies (IAB), approved independent auditing organizations.
Specifically, TAPA EMEA has defined the following supply chain security standards:
FACILITY SECURITY REQUIREMENTS CERTIFICATION (FSR)
The FSR (Facility Security Requirements) standards of TAPA EMEA protect high-value and high theft-risk goods within logistics facilities, such as distribution centers.
They define minimum security requirements, risk mitigation methods, and a multisite certification process for companies with three or more warehouses, promoting the sharing of best practices. The FSR Multisite formula reduces costs by including multiple sites under a single certification, while maintaining the integrity and objectives of the standard.
TRUCKING SECURITY REQUIREMENTS CERTIFICATION (TSR)
The TSR (Trucking Security Requirements) of TAPA EMEA protect goods transported by road, defining standards for the security of drivers, vehicles, and cargo, and preventing criminal attacks, which account for approximately 80% of cargo losses according to the association’s statistics.
The TSR standard establishes minimum security requirements, compliance methods, and processes that service providers must follow to obtain certification. It is recommended for rigid box trucks (fixed-wall bodies) and trailers, rigid-frame trucks or vans with fixed bodies, road transport of maritime containers, as well as curtain-sided trucks and trailers.
