Yes. For businesses in Assam (and across the state of India), our consultants visit your office or factory in person. We do the initial gap check, review your physical setup, and train your staff face-to-face so they are ready for the auditor's questions.
SMETA is a one-time check-up report, done, shared, done. SA8000 is a certificate that requires you to maintain the standard year-round, with annual checks and a recertification every 3 years. Most garment manufacturing units need SMETA. A smaller number of key strategic suppliers are asked for SA8000. We'll confirm which one your buyer actually requires.
A standard approval gives you an official certificate (like ISO 9001). An inspection is a check-up: someone inspects your workshop and writes a report. Some standards like SMETA only give you an inspection report, not a certificate. Both are important for winning buyer trust.
