Absolutely. Our consultants visit your manufacturing unit in Himachal 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.
SMETA gives you an external check report, not a certificate, but buyers treat it the same way. Your report goes on Sedex, all your buyers can view it, and you don't need to do a separate external check for each one. This is the most practical thing about SMETA: one external check, multiple buyers satisfied.
A registration gives you an official certificate (like ISO 9001). An check-up is a check-up: someone inspects your production 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.
