Section 9.7 says -

9.7 The company shall maintain appropriate records of suppliers’ commitment to social accountability, including, but not limited to, the suppliers’ written commitment to:

a) conform to all requirements of this standard (including this clause);

b) participate in the company’s monitoring activities as requested;

c) promptly remediate any nonconformance identified against the requirements of this standard;

d) promptly and completely inform the company of any and all relevant business relationship(s) with other supplier(s) and subcontractor(s);

So, easy to figure out the type of NCs ;)

Perhaps the question was not well posed:rolleyes: so trying again...I would like to know if someone could give me concrete examples of what to look at to find evidence if my supplier conforms to all requirements of SA 8000; and participates in my company’s monitoring activities??????

Thank you.

Hi Colleen !

Are you going to be auditing / visiting these suppliers? Or are you sending them a form letter where they promise to attend and abide by the requirements of SA 8000? We have a few clients here in Brazil that are certified and they have sent us a form letter for us to sign promising to abide by these requirements... have never had a client audit based on SA 8000.

Yeah, as Ted suggested, mostly written commitment from suppliers is obtained.

I am attaching this SA 8000 guidance document from TUV See Page 63 / 88
