TAPA certification

Approved TAPA audit providers

Approved audit providers assess facilities against the applicable Facility Security Requirements (FSR). An organization seeking third-party certification should agree its scope, level, audit arrangements and fees with an authorized provider. The original article describes TAPA AMERICAS and FSR levels A, B and C; available routes and auditor requirements must be checked for the relevant region and edition.

A certificate covers its stated sites and scope, rather than automatically certifying every operation of a company. Current regional arrangements may include single-site, multi-site or self-certification routes. Claims of certification must accurately reflect the actual certificate.
