TS ISO 28004-4
Security management systems for the supply chain - Guidelines for the implementation of ISO 28000 - Part 4: Additional specific guidance on implementing ISO 28000 if compliance with ISO 28001 is a management objective
This part of ISO 28004 provides additional guidance for organizations adopting ISO 28000 that also
wish to incorporate the Best Practices identified in ISO 28001 as a management objective on their
international supply chains. The Best Practices in ISO 28001 both help organizations establish and
document levels of security within an international supply chain and facilitate validation in national
Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programmes that are designed in accordance with the World
Customs Organization (WCO) Framework of Standards.
This part of ISO 28004 is not designed as a standalone document. The main body of ISO 28004-1 provides
significant guidance pertaining to required inputs, processes, outputs and other elements required by
ISO 28000. This part of ISO 28004 provides additional specific guidance on implementing ISO 28000 if
compliance with ISO 28001 is a management objective.
Some requirements specified in the WCO AEO programme are government functions and are not
addressed in the ISO international standards. These include:
— Demonstrated Compliance with Customs Requirements. Customs are to take into account the
demonstrated compliance history of a prospective AEO when considering the request for AEO
status.
— Satisfactory System for Management of Commercial Records. The AEO is to maintain timely,
accurate, complete and verifiable records relating to import and export. Maintenance of verifiable
commercial records is an essential element in the security of the international trade supply chain.
— Financial Viability. Financial viability of the AEO is an important indicator of an ability to maintain
and improve upon measures to secure the supply chain.
— Consultation, Co-operation and Communication. Customs, other competent authorities and the AEO
at all levels ― international, national and local ― should consult regularly on matters of mutual
interest, including supply chain security and facilitation measures, in a manner which will not
jeopardize enforcement activities. The results of this consultation should contribute to Customs
development and maintenance of its risk management strategy.

About This Item
TS ISO 28004-4 is a guidance document within the ISO 28000 family for supply chain security management systems, focused on the case where an organization adopts ISO 28000 and also treats the best practices in ISO 28001 as a management objective. It explains how those best practices relate to documenting security levels in an international supply chain and to validation in national Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programmes aligned with the World Customs Organization (WCO) Framework of Standards.
How ISO 28000 and ISO 28001 fit together
ISO 28000 provides the management system framework for supply chain security. ISO 28001 is associated with best practices that help organizations define, document, and demonstrate security arrangements in a way that can support AEO-related evaluation. This part of ISO 28004 supplements the main guidance in ISO 28004-1; it is not a standalone requirements standard, but an additional explanatory guide for organizations whose objective includes ISO 28001 alignment.
General technical context
Supply chain security management addresses risks such as unauthorized access, tampering, loss, and disruption as goods move across borders and through logistics networks. In practical terms, this field relies on traceability, accurate records, clear responsibilities, and sustained control of security measures. The value of this document lies in clarifying the interface between security management and customs facilitation frameworks.
- Some WCO AEO programme provisions are governmental functions and are not covered by ISO international standards.
- The document gives conceptual guidance for documenting and evaluating security levels in an international trade supply chain.
- It should be read together with ISO 28004-1 rather than as a replacement for the main implementation guidance.
