TAPA EMEA Standards’ update
Presenters: Paul Linders, Vice Chair, and Markus Prinz, Senior Manager, Trainings & Standards, TAPA EMEA
TAPA Standards’ experts Paul Linders and Markus Prinz share a detailed look at the Association’s supply chain security Standards, including the new revisions of TAPA’s Parking Security Requirements (PSR) which went live in January 2023, and the upcoming next revisions of the Facility (FSR) and Trucking (TSR) Standards, which take effect on 15 September 2023.
Our speakers will discuss the key changes in the new Standards and the latest training support available from TAPA EMEA. Delegates will also hear more about TAPA EMEA’s approval by the European Commission (EC) to act as an official training centre for its Safe & Secure Truck Parking Areas (SSTPA) Standard to support the development of a network of safe and secure parking areas throughout the EU, improving resting conditions for drivers, and protecting them from violence and cargo crime.
The session will also include an opportunity for delegates to ask their own questions of our TAPA EMEA Standards & training specialists.
