CEN/TC 417 - Project Committee - Maritime and port security services

Project Committee - Maritime and port security services

This TC specifies requirements for quality in organization, processes, personnel and management of a security services provider and/or its independent branches and establishments under commercial law and trade as a provider with regard to port and maritime security services. This TC will only deal with issues according to the laws and the regulations applicable in the territory of every national CEN member adopting the standard and which have hence no extra-territorial application. It will lay down quality criteria for the delivery of private ports and maritime security services requested by public and private clients or buyers. It will therefore develop criteria suitable for the selection, attribution, awarding and reviewing of the most suitable provider for port and maritime security services. This TC will also deal with yacht harbors. This TC will not consider security on ships of war and troopships, ships not propelled by mechanical means, wooden ships of primitive build. This TC will not deal with security services provided by private security companies that are subject to particular rules and conditions and/or related to a specific high risk situation and/or the use of heavy weapons and/or special training and/or government supervision, such as security services in relation to piracy.
