ISO 17712 is an international standard for securing cargo shipments. It is designed to help ensure that cargo is properly secured and protected during transit. The standard is used by shippers, carriers, and customs authorities to ensure that cargo is properly secured and protected from theft, tampering, and damage.
ISO 17712 is divided into two parts: the technical requirements and the security requirements. The technical requirements cover the physical security of the cargo, such as the type of container, the type of locks used, and the type of seals used. The security requirements cover the security measures that must be taken to protect the cargo, such as the use of tamper-evident seals, tracking systems, and other security measures.
The standard is designed to be flexible and can be adapted to different types of cargo and different types of transportation. It is also designed to be cost-effective, so that shippers can use it without incurring excessive costs.
ISO 17712 is an important tool for shippers, carriers, and customs authorities to ensure that cargo is properly secured and protected during transit. It is also an important tool for shippers to demonstrate to their customers that they are taking the necessary steps to protect their cargo. By using ISO 17712, shippers can ensure that their cargo is secure and protected, and that their customers can have peace of mind that their cargo is safe.
