Introduction
The objective of this document is to set minimum criteria for the provision of maritime and port security
services as part of both national and international critical infrastructure. While the document refers to
maritime ports and ISPS, as well as to EU legislation on maritime ports, it can also be used to certify
providers in other environments, such as inland ports and waterways.
This document is built on EN 17483-1, which covers the basic and common requirements for all sectors
of critical infrastructure, which meets the need to aim for high quality and harmonized quality criteria
for private security services providers. This, in turn, contributes to a well- functioning society. In outlining
what makes a private security company a worthy provider of such crucial critical infrastructure as the
maritime and port ecosystem, the document aims to contribute to the professionalization of clients and
providers of private security services.
The series of standards, building on EN 17483-1:2021, which establishes the basic requirements, and all
further upcoming sector specific standards in the EN 17483 series (including this document for maritime
and port security services, EN 17483-3) follows a transparent structure as shown below (see Figure 1).

Figure 1 — Structure for sector-specific standards
The ultimate goal is to create the necessary sector specific standards for every suitable and applicable
sector within critical infrastructure according to the outlined sectors of Annex A in EN 17483-1:2021.
These sector-specific standards are necessary to compensate for the lack of, or gaps in, legislation. They
are meant to help certifiers check the compliance with the provisions of the main requirements standards
and the sector-specific ones.
This document incorporates the broad interdisciplinary expertise of various organizations and
individuals involved in standardization and private security services at both national and international
levels.
1 Scope
This document includes the sector specific requirements for the provision of private security services for
maritime and port security that are additional to the requirements of EN 17483-1:2021.
NOTE 1 This document is the third part of a series of standards on the provision of private security services for
critical infrastructure.
NOTE 2 See Figure 2.
Figure 2 — Structure for sector-specific standards - part 3 highlighted
NOTE 3 It is important that the selection of a private security service provider always represent the best balance
between quality and price. This document sets out the minimum requirements that providers should comply with
in order for this balance to be struck.
It specifies service requirements for quality in organization, processes, personnel and management of a
security service provider and/or its independent branches and establishments under commercial law
and trade as a provider with regard to maritime and port security services.
It lays down quality criteria for the delivery of maritime and port security services requested by public
and private clients. This document is suitable for the selection, attribution, awarding and reviewing of
the most suitable provider of maritime and port security services.
