Management of
Security Printing Processes
A transposition of the former CWA 14641
INTERGRAFs CWA certifications have been a recognized reference for governments and industries to
rely on an essential security management procedure. In order to continue with this trend and to ensure
the highest level of security in the printing industry we introduce the ISO 14298.
An international working group of security printing experts within ISO was reviewing CWA 14641 to ensure that the international standard ISO 14298 reflects the highest level of security management system:
What is ISO:
Facts of ISO:
To improve the security for the industry in regards to Security Printing and help the fight against fraud
and forgery.
To reduce trade barriers by encouraging uniform practices around the
world.
Satisfy clients increasing need in
security.

CWA 15374
The certification for suppliers to the
Security Printing Industry
INTERGRAFs CWA 15374 certification is applicable to suppliers of products that include security features or of services that ensure the physical security of printed matter manufactured by
a Security Printing Company can be audited against the CWA 15374.
High Security Products and Services will be audited depending on the risk analysis:
In addition to the rules of the CWA, the Risk Inventory Checklist lays down a set of mandatory requirements that must be met to be a Certified Supplier to the Secure Printing Industry.
Depending on the companys security policy, objectives and customers specifications, a
risk analysis will define among additional requirements listed in the Risk Inventory Checklist,
those to be verified during the audit.
How does the certification work?:
The Certified Suppliers have been thoroughly audited against all major Security Management procedures requested and listed in the CWA documentation. A yearly audit controls
that a high level of security is maintained during the full 3-year certification period ensuring
for your products the best level of security at all times.

The official CWA 15374 standard can be bought from one of the CEN European Committee for
Standardization members list available on www.cen.eu.
Using all three documents your company should prepare a Security Manual and make sure that all procedures
of the manual are correctly implemented in the company. This document will serve as a basis for the audit.
You choose an independent certifying body among those recognized by INTERGRAF, which analyzes the
Security Manual and visits your company to verify the implementation of the security procedures listed in the
Security Manual. The auditor reports to INTERGRAF on the fulfillment of the ISO or the CWA and the according
INTERGRAF Certification Requirements / Risk Inventory Checklist criteria. On receipt of a positive report from
our recognized certifying body, INTERGRAF will issue the certificate and publish the company on our website
(www.securityprinters.org). The certified company receives its certificate together with the logo, which can be
printed on all its stationary and promotional material. A yearly control audit will verify that the security procedures remain implemented throughout the company and three years after the initial audit a full audit will take
place again.
