Requirements and Standards of SLCP Factory Inspection for Enterprise Evaluation and Trusteeship

SLCP needs to audit the production factory, commonly known as factory inspection, and part of it is social responsibility audit. This audit is not only to strictly inspect the health, safety and environment of the enterprise, but also to verify and confirm the wages and benefits of employees, such as overtime, which is mainly based on China's labor law.

Development goals of new SLCP projects

Establish a comprehensive evaluation framework for social development labor data collection to eliminate financial audit fatigue. According to the substitution of the current special assessment tools, avoid repetition and reduce the total number of social development labor force approvals. The resources previously used for compliance approval will be used again to improve the standards in the work of social development labor force, and to improve the comparability of social development labor force information.

Requirements and Standards of SLCP Factory Inspection for Enterprise Evaluation and Trusteeship

1. The factory conducts self-assessment or joint assessment. During the self-assessment, the plant manager needs to fill in data through Excel or any online system of an approved hosting platform. In the case of joint evaluation, the factory will get support from external consultants, such as the brand. The consultant participating in the joint evaluation can be the verifier, but not the verifier who will verify the evaluation data later.

2. The data shall be verified by SLCP approved verifiers. It can be an independent second party (such as the buyer) or a third party (such as service providers, non-governmental organizations). The verification must be completed through a SLCP approved hosting platform that has integrated SLCP data collection and verification tools into an online format.

3. The verified evaluation data will be sent to the Distribution Gateway and shared with the approved hosting platform (AccreditedHost) selected by the factory.
