TAPA STANDARDS


Question 3.


CENTRAL FUNCTION


I want to prepare for TSR 2020 certification. Where can I find the audit forms?


Answer: The 2020 TAPA FSR and TSR Standards were issued six months ahead of their introduction (on 1 July 2020) to allow our members to evaluate them before planning their audits. We still have to create the audit templates that are to be used. These will be available by June 2020. Anyone wishing to evaluate their preparedness for the updated Standards before June should use the actual Standard, which lists the requirements in chronological order.


Question 4. Question 2.


For FSR 2020 multi-site certification, what do I need to do in preparation for the Independent Auditor’s visit?


Answer: Here is a basic list, but it’s important you fully understand the process to ensure you and your auditors are prepared for an efficient audit:


1. Make sure you have read and understand both FSR 2020 and the TAPA FSR Certification Framework Document 2020. These documents can be downloaded from the TAPA website.


2. Ensure your selected auditor is aware of the full scope of your multi-site operation to be certified. For example, ‘All warehouses in Northern Spain’ would not be acceptable. This is an example of what the IAB would expect to see:


TAPA FSR A & C Multi Site Certification Central Function: Barcelona Sampling Sites:


a) FSR A required in Barcelona, Santander, Vitoria, Pamplona


b) FSR C required in Zaragoza, Lleida, Valladolid, Oviedo


3. Pre-auditor visit:


a) Schedule the main meeting with your Independent Auditor at the Central Function site.


b) Agree with your auditor a list of information/procedures that will be required in advance or on the day of the certification audit.


c) Agree, with the auditor, the sites which will be available to be sampled. Agree dates for the sampling (10% of sites)


d) Ensure evidence is available to the auditor that demonstrates all sites to be included in the multi-site certification meet the conformance requirements. This should include in-house audits and records of corrective actions being issued and managed etc.


My TSR 1 2017 certification expires in November this year and I will recertify to TSR 2020. My main customer wants me to add Escorts and Cyber Threat to my certification. What must I do to prepare and add these to my certification?


Answer: When you arrange for the TSR 1 certification audit with your chosen Independent Audit Body, make sure Enhanced options: Escort Company Service Levels and IT & Cyber Threat are added to the certification audit scope.


Complete an assessment of TSR 1, Escort Company Service Levels and IT & Cyber Threat compliance and address any gaps before the auditor’s visit.
