M/419 - Supply chain security
Standardisation mandate addressed to CEN for the development of as series of standards on supply chain security
Mandate M/419 requests CEN to develop a series of standards focused on supply chain security. The mandate aims to establish consistent and effective standards to enhance the security and resilience of supply chains within the European Union. It supports efforts to mitigate risks and improve the protection of goods, services, and information throughout the supply chain. The decision regarding the approval or disapproval of this mandate was referenced in CEN/BT 19/2008.
Purpose
The mandate M/419 aims to enhance supply chain security within the European Union by developing a series of harmonized standards. These standards are intended to address risks and vulnerabilities in supply chains, thereby facilitating secure and reliable movement of goods and services across member states.
Standardisation request
The mandate requests the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) to develop a comprehensive set of standards focused on supply chain security. This involves creating guidelines, requirements, and best practices to mitigate threats and ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of supply chain operations.
Expected deliverables
- A series of European standards covering various aspects of supply chain security.
- Frameworks and protocols for risk assessment and management within supply chains.
- Guidelines to support organizations in implementing secure supply chain practices.
- Tools to promote interoperability and cooperation between stakeholders involved in supply chains.
Context
This mandate was approved under resolution CEN/BT 19/2008, reflecting the European Union's commitment to strengthening supply chain security amid increasing globalization and complexity. Standardization in this area supports broader policy goals related to economic stability, public safety, and international trade compliance. The development of these standards aligns with initiatives to enhance resilience against disruptions and threats such as terrorism, fraud, and cyberattacks.
This mandate covers the development of a series of standards focused on supply chain security. It aims to address the security aspects within supply chains, ensuring the protection and resilience of goods and services from production to delivery. The standardisation work includes measures to prevent, detect, and respond to threats and vulnerabilities affecting the integrity and safety of supply chains across various sectors.

This Technical Report aims to provide Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) basic knowledge about how to manage and mitigate the risk of criminal and terrorist activities. This is a shared objective for the private and public sector*. For the private sector, companies have gained experience on measures, which can assist in preventing security breaches from happening, to protect against supply chain interruption. Also some business standards have been developed identifying measures, which companies can execute in order to obtain labels which certify business operations and reward them with a security quality label. The public sector has developed security legislation which companies should either mandatory or voluntary apply into their business operations.
This Guide provides an easy-to-read overview on:
1) How SMEs can apply a supply chain security approach to their operations (Clause 2).
2) The main crime types in the supply chain including some measures to fight these crime types from occurring (Clause 3).
3) Supply chain security legislation and programs, with their respective compliance requirements (Clause 4).
*In the context of this guide, "supply chain security" covers risk management, crime prevention, security procedures and technologies, as well as security regulations and programs. The overview and examples in this book are based on recent academic work and interviews with experts in the field, including CEN SCS Feasibility Study (2010); EU FP7-LOGSEC Roadmap (2011) and interviews with CEN TC/379 experts.

A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/419 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Standardisation mandate addressed to CEN for the development of as series of standards on supply chain security". Standardisation mandate addressed to CEN for the development of as series of standards on supply chain security There are 4 standards developed under this mandate.
