Transport Equipment & Services Standards (EN & ISO) keep the world moving safely and efficiently. From the design of robust road vehicles and railway systems to the management of logistics and traffic safety, these standards ensure reliability, reduce environmental impact, and streamline global supply chains.
Efficiency, Safety & Sustainability in Motion
The transport sector is the backbone of the global economy. European Standards (EN) and International Standards (ISO) provide the essential frameworks to manufacture safe vehicles, manage complex logistics networks, and reduce the carbon footprint of transportation fleets.
🚦 Traffic Safety
Reduce accidents and improve fleet safety management with the ISO 39001 standard.
🚚 Logistics Quality
Optimize supply chain operations and service delivery with ISO 9001 and EN 12507.
🌍 Green Transport
Minimize emissions and manage environmental risks with ISO 14001 and ISO 14064.
Essential Standards for the Transport Sector
To ensure regulatory compliance and operational excellence, these are the critical standards:
| Standard | Title / Scope | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| ISO 39001 | Road Traffic Safety (RTS) | Reduces death and serious injury in fleets. |
| ISO 9001 | Quality Management Systems | Ensures consistent transport service quality. |
| EN 12507 | Transportation Services – Guidance | Best practices for freight transport and logistics. |
| ISO 14001 | Environmental Management | Helps fleets reduce fuel use and emissions. |
| ISO 16750 | Road Vehicles – Environmental Conditions | Testing for vehicle electronics reliability. |
| EN 12642 | Securing of Cargo | Safety requirements for vehicle body structures. |
Strategic Advantages of Compliance
Adopting these standards drives efficiency and builds client confidence.
- Safety Record: Implementing ISO 39001 demonstrates a proactive approach to road safety, often reducing insurance premiums.
- Tender Success: Public and large corporate contracts usually require ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification from logistics providers.
- Equipment Reliability: Adhering to technical standards like ISO 16750 ensures vehicle components withstand harsh operating conditions.
- Regulatory Compliance: Standards for cargo securing (EN 12642) help avoid fines and accidents related to load safety on European roads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ISO 39001 mandatory for transport companies?
It is generally voluntary, but highly recommended for any organization with a fleet. It provides a structured management system to reduce death and serious injury related to road traffic crashes.
What standards apply to cargo securing?
EN 12195 (Load restraining on road vehicles) and EN 12642 (Securing of cargo on road vehicles – Body structure) are critical for ensuring loads do not shift or fall, preventing accidents and fines.
How does ISO 14001 benefit logistics?
Logistics creates significant emissions. ISO 14001 helps companies identify areas to reduce fuel consumption, optimize routes, and manage waste, leading to both cost savings and environmental compliance.
