Absolutely. Our consultants visit your manufacturing unit in Uttarakhand 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 inspection 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 inspection for each one. This is the most practical thing about SMETA: one inspection, multiple buyers satisfied.
A certificate 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.
