Absolutely. Our consultants visit your manufacturing unit in Chhattisgarh in person. We check your setup, run physical checks, and train your staff so they can answer the external checker's questions with confidence.
SMETA is a one-time external check report, done, shared, done. SA8000 is a standard approval that requires you to maintain the standard year-round, with annual checks and a recertification every 3 years. Most garment factories need SMETA. A smaller number of key strategic suppliers are asked for SA8000. We'll confirm which one your buyer actually requires.
A registration gives you an official certificate (like ISO 9001). An audit is a check-up: someone inspects your manufacturing unit and writes a report. Some standards like SMETA only give you an audit report, not a certificate. Both are important for winning buyer trust.
