QI :The Preparing Process 1. ApplicationA production facility submits basic
information to WRAP and pays a registration fee of US$1195.
2. Pre-Audit Self-Assessment
Facilities complete a pre-audit self-assessment of their facility to show that they have been utilizing socially compliant practices for a minimum of 90 days (for new facilities; facilities seeking re-certification are expected to have been compliant throughout their preceding certification period). We offer the following resources for facilities to use during their Pre-Audit Self-Assessment:
- Pre-Audit Self-Assessment
- Handbook
- Risk Assessment
- Working Hours Action Plan
3. Monitoring
After submitting their pre-audit self-assessment, the facility selects a WRAP-accredited monitoring organization to audit the facility against WRAP's 12 Principles. The audit must be successfully passed within 6 months of paying the registration fee to avoid having to re-register.
4. Evaluation
WRAP will review the monitor's audit report and decide whether or not to certify the facility. If WRAP decides not to issue a certification, the facility will be notified of the corrections that need to be made and the monitoring firm will conduct an additional inspection. If the facility does not satisfactorily implement the recommendations within the original six-month period, it must pay the registration fee again.
5. Audit (Certification)
There are three levels of WRAP certification – Platinum, Gold and Silver. The certificate issued to a facility is determined by WRAP and depends on the extent to which the audit indicates full compliance and management commitment to the WRAP Principles
