Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), has
released its first Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA)
Freight Security Requirements (FSR) certificate to Partner
Logistics Europe, in the EMEA Area.
TAPA is a unique forum that unites global manufacturers,
freight carriers, law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders
with the common aim of reducing losses from international supply
chains. With its FSR programme TAPA has created a qualitative
standard of best practices that enables different levels of
classification according to threat levels. Multi-national
manufacturers and distributors include FSR certification in their
contractual agreements and transport providers increasingly refer
to it as the global benchmark.
After being chosen as one of only four global
certification bodies to deliver TAPA certification, LRQA has
recently issued its first TAPA A certificate in the EMEA area to
Partner Logistics Europe in the Netherlands. Partner Logistics is a
European based logistic service provider to the food and high tech
industry.
LRQA has been a provider of TAPA FSR services in Asia
since 2006 and is now set to deliver the TAPA services all across
the EMEA area. LRQA now has assessors trained throughout Europe and
the Middle East according to the TAPA organisation's training
requirements.
Together with the vast experience LRQA has gained from
carrying out audits to assess compliance with the International
Ship and Port Facility (ISPS) code, TAPA FSR in Asia and ISO 28000;
LRQA has established itself as a leading service provider for
Supply Chain Security verification services
world-wide.
