1 Scope
This PAS specifies requirements for the process of identifying, implementing and maintaining
security measures to reduce the risk of commercially operated vehicles being used
in acts of terrorism and other forms of serious and organized crime, including drug
operations and vehicle and cargo theft as well as undesirable actions such as anti-social
behaviour.
It covers personnel security and physical security of sites and vehicles as well as
security management planning and processes.
The PAS is intended for operators of:
-
• light and heavy goods vehicles;

whether they are leased, hired or owned by the operator or driver.

out of commercial vehicles, for example, members of the Rental Vehicle Security Scheme.
NOTE Further information on the Rental Vehicle Security Scheme can be found on the Department for Transport website [1].
