Gemalto first to achieve the highest security standards at all its ID document production sites
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, Oct. 15 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, has been awarded the Intergraf ISO 14298 certification for
its operation in Gdansk, Poland. This official recognition by Intergraf, the
Federation for Print and Digital Communication, places Gemalto in the unique
position of having all its five ID document production sites formally
certified[1]. As a result, the company can offer clients unrivaled business
continuity and global supply chain integrity for the production of a wide range
of innovative documents including ePassports and eID cards.
This new certification[2] is an international standard that specifies
requirements for an organization's security management system. Intergraf
provides confidential Implementation Guidelines and Intergraf Certification
Requirements (ICR), exclusively developed for the high security printing
industry and the specific needs of this market. Gemalto's clients now benefit
from this uncompromising level of performance, ensuring that ID manufacturing
programs enjoy outstanding protection against the risk of disruption.
This facility in Poland joins other Gemalto sites in Brazil, Finland and
Switzerland that have successfully completed the lengthy and exacting process of
certification by Intergraf's inspection team.
"Counterfeiting is a serious and critical issue for national security printers,
end users and authorities. Intergraf's mission is to protect this highly secure
industry and contribute to the fight against fraud with the help of
certifications," said Patricia Engler, Customer Relations & Certification
Director at Intergraf. "Intergraf is extremely pleased that Gemalto has met our
stringent criteria. This certification reinforces Gemalto's positioning as a
recognized reference for governments that rely on essential security management
procedures."
"Achieving ISO 14298 certification at Gdansk is the latest stage in a business
strategy that combines innovative document design with optimum production
strength," said Youzec Kurp, Vice President of Government Programs at Gemalto.
"Having all our production sites certified enables Gemalto to even better serve
its customers. It's a commitment to continuous delivery of national documents.
We strongly support business continuity planning as it provides an opportunity
to not only plan for, respond to, and recover from specific events, but also
improve overall operations and processes."
