The Global Security Verification (GSV) Standard is a program established by Intertek to help importers as well as suppliers in assessing their security measures based on international supply-chain security requirements.
In view of the escalating threat from global terrorism and piracy, governments and customs organizations around the world have implemented supply-chain security standards to secure trade flows, protect against terrorist acts, and to combat illegal trafficking .In the process of enforcing and adhering to new international supply-chain security standards, companies must assess their supply chain to identify, mitigate and eliminate all potential security risks .Intertek’s Global Security Verification program integrates multiple global suplly-chain security initiatives, including C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism), PIP (Partners in Protection) and AEO (Authorized Economic Operators) . Our mission is to partner with international buyers and suppliers to drive the development of a global security-verification process, resulting in increased safety assurance, risk control, efficiency and cost savings for all participants
