3. Description of the audit

BSCI audits can only be conducted by auditing companies and auditors approved by SAI, and BSCI reports are valid for three years.

Before accepting the audit, the supplier should submit the existing audit report and certificate to the audit company. If you submit a valid SA8000 certification related to the scope of BSCI or a certificate with equivalent recognition, you do not need to conduct any audit measures again. If the supplier is currently undergoing SA8000 certification or certification of similar standards, the same applies.

Audit principle: The audit is conducted in accordance with the regulations in the BSCI management manual and audit guidelines. The purpose of the audit is to assist the supplier to improve its social standards. In order to ensure consistent application of BSCI goals and principles, BSCI audit questionnaires must be used in all audit processes.

Who are the members of BSCI?

BSCI members are the company as a full member with voting rights in the general meeting or the association as a related member without voting rights. Members can be retailers, factories, importers and public trading departments from various sectors and countries. BSCI is open to European Union and non-European Union companies.

What products does BSCI cover?

Audits including BSCI can be conducted at any production plant in the world.

The types of items broadly cover different scopes of BSCI. There are a large number of department stores that sell various textiles, clothes, home textiles, small devices, toys, and accessories as members. There are also members who focus on a particular product group, such as clothing stores, shoe retailers, baby products or sports products. For the implementation of BSCI in the food industry, BSCI has developed a special template for the main products.

Does BSCI provide certificates?

BSCI

It is not a certification system, so certificates cannot be issued. BSCI provides a consistent management tool for members, suppliers, auditors, and qualified people in a specific process. This method ensures a consistent review process and evaluation, so the results are comparable.

If I have not obtained the certificate, how can I receive the audit certificate? The cover of the audit report lists the results, and the validity period of the audit can be displayed on the factory unit and used as an audit certificate.

The cost of an audit?

The cost of the audit depends on the size of the scale, the location of the factory, and the number of working days required for the audit.

For example, the audit time policy requires at least one working day (8 hours) at the site of a small business (less than 250 employees). The price is directly proportional to the company and the country.

Who pays for the audit?

This is negotiated between BSCI members and its suppliers. There is no fixed convention in BSCI.

How long is the validity period of BSCI?

The validity period of BSCI is 3 years.

Which auditor conducts the audit?

Today, only independent audit companies recognized by SAI and selected by BSCI will be entrusted to perform BSCI social audits. This guarantees a better possible audit quality and avoids costly and bureaucratic certification processes. BSCI is not a certification scheme, but a supervision system that uses SA8000 as a regulation.

BSCI audits must be conducted by auditors working in the following auditing companies: ALGI, Bureau Veritas, CSCC-Cal Safety Compliance Corporation, DNV-Det Norske Veritas, HKQAA, Intertek-Intertek Testing Services, IQNet Ltd, RINA-Registro Italiano Navale Group, TUV Asia Pacific (a member of TUV NORD Group), SGS- Société Générale de Surveillance, TUVRheinland Group, TUV SUD Group.
