A short guide to the best use of security seals

1) Receiving Your Security Seals

Inspect your seals upon receipt.
Ensure the seal’s integrity by checking the unique markings and numbers.
Verify the correct type, quantity, and color of seals.
Record any additional identifying features to facilitate future identification.

2) Seal Inventory Management

Store seals in a secure location with restricted access.
Ideally, access should be controlled by an electronic system (e.g., RFID).
Assign a responsible person or department for handling seals.
Maintain an inventory log and plan to reorder seals at least six weeks before stock runs low.

3) Correct Usage

Seals should only be used by authorized personnel.
Authorized users must record the seals taken from storage.
Apply the seal carefully, following the provided instructions.
A seal is considered secure only if it is intact at both the start and end of its use.
Do not dispose of used seals carelessly. Instead, collect them and dispose of them at an authorized center.
Personnel should be trained in proper seal handling according to established protocols.

4) Proper Seal Management

Inspect seals before use, during use, and after removal or cutting.
If the truck or container is handed over to another organization, require a thorough inspection of the seal to prevent future disputes.
For seals used over extended periods, conduct inspections at least once a year and log any anomalies.

5) Information Management

For security purposes, it is essential to record all relevant information about each seal on paper or electronically.
The minimum data to be recorded includes:
- Seal number
- Date and time of collection
- Person responsible for collection
- Intended use location
- Any customer references
When the truck or container reaches its destination, record details related to the seal when:
- It is cut or removed for Customs inspection.
- It is cut or removed by the customer receiving the goods.
This process should always be supervised by an inspector familiar with the proper use of seals and tampering protocols.
