INTERGRAF 15374
WHAT IS THE INTERGRAF 15374?
The INTERGRAF 15374 (formerly known as the CWA 15374) is a comprehensive certification scheme dedicated to suppliers of the security printing industry.
Much like INTERGRAF ISO 14298, the INTERGRAF 15374 standard is founded on the principle of continuous improvement, incorporating a range of risk-based prerequisites to ensure the highest level of security throughout the entire supply chain.
INTERGRAF provides confidential Implementation Guidelines and the INTERGRAF Certification Requirements (ICR), exclusively developed for the security printing industry and the specific needs of this market.
The requirements are revised annually to guarantee that our standards are in line with market trends and technological developments.
Those requirements are confidential. Only once these requirements are fulfilled, confirmed by independent accreditation bodies, can a company be recognised as maintaining a high level of security and become an INTERGRAF certified ‘Security Supplier” according to INTERGRAF 15374.
INTERGRAF standards are recognized by tendering authorities, international associations, and policy makers.
RISK GROUPS COVERED BY THE ICR
The INTERGRAF 15374 tackles 9 risk groups, covering a wide range of processes:
A. Customer related risk
B. Information related risk
C. Security material, product, and waste related risk
D. Supply chain related risk
E. Physical intrusion and access related risk
F. Personnel related risk
G. Disaster related risk
H. Transportation related risk
I. Any additional security related risks unique to the organisation
Regarding the interpretation and implementation of this set of requirements: local legislation is taken into due account. Whilst fully respecting local legislation, the aims and the spirit of these requirements shall be followed as much as possible with the objective of implementing the highest possible level of security for each aspect.
