In the ISO 28001 Supply Chain Safety Management System standard issued by the International Standards Organization, the meaning of security is defined as opposing intentional and unauthorized actions to harm or create damage to the supply chain. As such, organizations are expected to conduct risk assessments in some areas and control their risks.
Some of these fields are:
- Human or system-based factors that affect the performance, conditions and safety of the organization
- Storms, floods and similar environmental events that adversely affect safety measures
- Factors beyond the control of the organization, such as external materials and services
- Damage to legal regulations, brand or image from partners risks and threats
- Factors such as design, maintenance, use and replacement of safety materials
- Threats affected by continuity of activities
As a result ISO 28001 Supply Chain Security Management Systemhas been prepared to determine the standards required by various organizations operating in many sectors to overcome these problems in case of problems or disruptions occurring at any point in the supply chain. It is important to ensure that the supply chain is correctly established and properly managed. As such, regardless of size and field of activity supply system ISO 28001 Supply Chain Security Management System can be established by all companies, factories, production facilities, service warehouses, transportation companies and similar organizations.
After this system is installed, ISO 28001 Supply Chain Security Management System Certificate may want to receive. This document shows that the relations and responsibilities with the supplier companies are correctly established and managed effectively.
However, there is a situation that needs to be explained about the certification studies. The Turkish Accreditation Agency has not accredited any certification body. If a certification body is accredited by the Turkish Accreditation Agency for one of its other management systems, it audits the organizations wishing to obtain ISO 28001 Supply Chain Security Management System Certificate by standard methods and gives this certificate when they deem appropriate according to this audit result. In other words, they have the authority to prepare this document without accreditation.
ISO 28001 Supply Chain Security Management System Certification TURCERT is one of the certification institutions. You can contact the managers and employees of the TURCERT certification body for more information on what this document is, how to obtain it and what it does, and even to have it.
