No. Sedex is the membership platform, similar to an account where your ethical trade data lives. SMETA is the check-up report that goes into that account. You need Sedex registration first, followed by a SMETA check-up. Buyers can see both, and we handle both.
A standard approval gives you an official certificate (like ISO 9001). An external check is a check-up: someone inspects your workshop and writes a report. Some standards like SMETA only give you an external check report, not a certificate. Both are important for winning buyer trust.
