Common Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often about this certification:
Our charges for setting up SEDEX Registration in Maharashtra are based on your business size and current paperwork. After a free discussion, we give you a clear fixed fee that covers the entire registration process, including check-up support.
Getting SEDEX Registration in Maharashtra usually takes around 5 to 7 Working Days. If you are in a hurry for a tender bid or a client inspection, we provide an urgent fast-track setup option.
Absolutely. Our consultants visit your manufacturing unit in Maharashtra 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 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.
