SA8000 Certification

Certification is the process by which individual companies (factories, farms and other workplaces) and organizations undergo assessment by a third-party auditor. If the company meets the requirements set out in the standard or code, it can earn a certificate attesting to its compliance by BQA. Third-party certification involves an independent assessment declaring that specified requirements pertaining to a product, person, process or management system have been met.
