SA8000

SA8000 certification is a management systems standard, modeled on ISO Standards. The criteria require that facilities seeking to gain and maintain certification must go beyond simple compliance to the standard. Prospective facilities must integrate it into their management practices and demonstrate ongoing compliance with the standard. SA8000 is based on the principles of international human rights norms as described in International Labor Organization conventions, the United Nations Convention on the rights of the child and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
