Security Printing Management
Graphic technology management of security printing processes, specifying requirements for security print manufacturers producing banknotes, passports, identity documents, and other security items.
ISO 14298 specifies requirements for the management of security printing processes for manufacturers producing banknotes, passports, identity documents, postage stamps, and other security-printed items. It establishes quality and security management requirements for this highly sensitive manufacturing sector.
Security printing facilities face unique risks related to the high intrinsic value and sensitivity of the items produced. The standard addresses personnel security, physical security, process security, and document security throughout the production and supply chain.
ACI-certified auditors evaluate security printing management systems and the effectiveness of security controls protecting against counterfeiting, fraud, and theft of security printed items.
