Audit Providers

TAPA-approved auditors use the highest FSR standards when auditing transportation supply chain facilities. Companies in need of certification must contact one of the approved firms listed below to schedule an audit. The company requesting the audit pays all audit costs. If the completed audit results in a satisfactory score, TAPA AMERICAS will issue the appropriate A. B, or C level certificate through the auditing firm.

The certification applies ONLY to a specific facility within the transportation supply chain. A company cannot claim to be TAPA certified unless each and every facility within its transportation supply chain has a current certification.

Our authorized audit providers include:
