The typical timeline for SEDEX Registration in Andhra Pradesh is 5 to 7 Working Days. This covers gap checks, writing SOPs, staff training, mock external check, and the final external check. We can speed up the process if you have an urgent business need.
Absolutely. Our consultants visit your manufacturing unit in Andhra Pradesh in person. We check your setup, run physical checks, and train your staff so they can answer the external checker's questions with confidence.
No. Sedex is the membership platform, similar to an account where your ethical trade data lives. SMETA is the external check report that goes into that account. You need Sedex registration first, followed by a SMETA external check. Buyers can see both, and we handle both.
A registration gives you an official certificate (like ISO 9001). An check-up is a check-up: someone inspects your manufacturing unit and writes a report. Some standards like SMETA only give you an check-up report, not a certificate. Both are important for winning buyer trust.
