Certification Process
Transport Certification Australia Limited (TCA) is able to receive applications for certification as an IAP Service Provider.
The IAP offers companies new business ventures as they can add the IAP to their list of telematics and GPS service offerings to transport operators. Once certified, IAP Service Providers can display the IAP Certification Symbol.
Certification is the process by which TCA determines whether a company seeking to be IAP certified meets the probity, financial, functional and technical standards of the program. There are five stages in the certification process.
The Certification Process Guideline explains each stage of the process. (Please note: the Certification Process Guideline refers to details of the cost of certification being detailed in TCA's Statement of Corporate Intent, however certification costs can now be found on the Cost of Certification page on this website).
Any company interested in applying to become an IAP Service Provider should contact TCA on 03 8601 4600 to discuss the certification process in detail, and to obtain the documents referred to in the Certification Process Guideline.
The Intelligent Access Program - Overview Guideline provides a brief explanation of the IAP, and the role of program participants.
