ACC3 validations can be expensive and more importantly – time-consuming. Security programmes are assessed, on-site visit is conducted and even a small non-conformity may lead to denial of ACC3 status. Due to regulatory requirements, you need to contract another validator once these issues have been solved – leading to further costs and delaying the process.
ACC3 pre-validation is a tailored service providing you assurance that the EU independent validation is successful. It comprises of carefully scrutinizing your Security Programme, visiting the premises where your cargo is being processed and more importantly – offering you professional advice on improvements that may be necessary whilst having in mind the economic impact thereof.
