SMETA is a one-time audit 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 certification gives you an official certificate (like ISO 9001). An inspection is a check-up: someone inspects your factory and writes a report. Some standards like SMETA only give you an inspection report, not a certificate. Both are important for winning buyer trust.
