Center of Excellence for Independent Validators

Supporting the air cargo business

IATA has been encouraged by its member airlines and European regulators to support air carriers in complying with ACC3 EU Security Validation process. To respond to this demand, IATA Training and Development Institute created a Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) to train, guide and support industry stakeholders.

2. Standard validation methodology and self-assessment tools to help airlines and other entities test their state of readiness

3. Scope of countries and stations that need validation

4. Training courses to prepare validators and airlines
