Facility Security Requirements (FSR)

The FSR Standard includes an FSR Multisite certification option designed to support companies seeking to certify three or more facilities.

Independent Audit Body (IAB) multisite certification establishes minimum security standards as well as operational and cost efficiencies between multiple sites. It also promotes the sharing of best practices and supports a ‘team’ approach to obtaining and maintaining compliance with the FSR Standard for risk mitigation and loss prevention.

For companies with multiple FSR certifications, choosing FSR Multisite should reduce the overall cost by allowing multiple sites to be listed under one parent certification, while still upholding the intentions and integrity of the Standard.

Successful implementation of the FSR Standard is dependent upon service providers, TAPA-approved auditors and buyers of services working together to accurately interpret, adopt and audit against these requirements.

In the Download section below, you find the TAPA EMEA Facility Security Requirements (FSR) Standard, including versions in several local languages. You can also access other useful documents to support your understanding and adoption of the FSR Standard.

You can contact the team directly using the Standards Question Submission Form.

TAPA EMEA’s audit forms support companies working to achieve Facility Security Requirements’ (FSR) certification.

Following the latest update to our audit templates, TAPA EMEA is only able to accept the updated template forms, which can be downloaded In the FSR Download section on this webpage.

In the Download section, you will also find a User Guide which explains how to use the new audit forms. Please read these instructions before proceeding with processing the forms. Also, the first tab of the audit forms’ Excel file provides a detailed explanation of its usage.

Our updated templates simplify the processing, tracking and archiving of TAPA EMEA Standards’ audit forms and offers a series of benefits:

• Intent of the requirement – by moving the cursor to the requirement, its intent (all fields with a red triangle) is displayed.
• Due to privacy policy issues, the question column has been frozen to restrict copying/pasting.
• To minimise macros in the template, the reviewer part has been removed.
• The updated version of the Security Corrective Action Requirement (SCAR) and Waiver Document are attached with the BI Sheet.
• Members’ suggestions – and necessary modifications received and noticed – are incorporated in this template.

The new FSR audit template package is now available for members and can be downloaded by using the button below.

Further answers on the use and handling of the audit form can be found in the audit tutorial on the right.
