Security throughout the supply chain

The service is aimed at companies of all sizes and sectors, from production to services, from logistics to transportation, and covers every stage of production or supply, including distribution.
The ISO 28000 certification aims to:

• improve the management of security threats (potential and known) and asset protection
• improve control over losses
• increase the level of satisfaction and trust of stakeholders, in particular customs agents and insurance companies;
• reduce the regulatory gap between terrestrial, air and maritime transport (the latter being subject to detailed rules and security measures)
• facilitate customs operations, reducing waiting times and related costs.

Regulatory Focus

The main international rules governing security in the supply chain are:

• ISO 28000, voluntary standards for which RINA participated in identifying the minimum requirements
• EU Regulation No 450/08/EC, which reformed the EU Customs Code, ADR, and RID for the carriage of dangerous goods
• C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), a US standard which provides for a number of prevention and protection procedures to be applied to goods entering the country

Container Security Initiative (CSI), a US standard for controlling the content of goods loaded in containers.

Why RINA?

RINA, with its strong multi-annual experience in the maritime transport sector, assists supply chain operators in the proper management of enterprise security.

Q&A

Can I use the concessions provided to Authorised Economic Operators?
The ISO 28000 certification is one of the elements that allow the operator to demonstrate the adoption of a system of protection of goods managed by intentional illicit acts. It is a prerequisite for obtaining a Full Authorisation as an Authorised Economic Operator, with important benefits for speeding up customs operations.
