-
How and when will I get copies of the draft FSR and TSR Security Standards?
TAPA will always publish a message to members informing them when draft Standards are available to access via a link on the TAPA website.
-
We are already TSR and FSR certified. Will the new formats increase my costs and the number of requirements I need to be compliant with?
If you do not wish to use new options which are included in FSR/TSR 2020, you should not see any significant changes to your existing FSR/TSR 2017 certification when you go through the re-certification process
-
As Self-Certification is a lower cost option for Logistics Service Providers, why should FSR A&B and TSR 1&2 still be considered?
Self-Certification is an entry level to the TAPA Standards and provides robust but minimal security measures. In most instances FSR C and TSR 3 should offer perfectly acceptable security for general cargo. Where Buyers, Shippers, Insurers or Logistics Service Providers’ risk assessments deem additional security measures are needed, then FSR A&B and/or TSR 1&2 can provide this assurance. More scrutiny is needed to ensure these measures are in place and we use industry recognised certification bodies to perform this role.
-
Can I still use the FSR/TSR 2017 versions after 1 July 2020?
As of 1 July 2020, any new certifications or recertifications should be completed using the FSR or TSR 2020 Standards. All FSR/TSR certificates are valid for 3 years, so, if you hold an FSR/TSR 2017 certificate, you do not need to recertify until your current certificate expires.

As I make preparation plans for FSR and TSR 2020, will TAPA be available to help me make decisions on the best way to transition to the new versions?
