SA 8000 CERTIFICATION

WHAT IS SA 8000?

SA 8000 is an internationally recognized certification standard that provides guidelines and requirements for social accountability in the workplace. The SA 8000 standard covers a wide range of social issues, such as child labor, forced labor, health and safety, freedom of association, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, and compensation. It is based on the conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

 

SA 8000 is a voluntary certification, meaning that organizations can choose to become certified if they meet the requirements of the standard. However, SA 8000 is also increasingly being used as a tool by companies to demonstrate their commitment to social responsibility and to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. Organizations that are certified to SA 8000 demonstrate their compliance with the standard through an independent, third-party audit.

Who can Apply for SA 8000 Certification?

SA 8000 certification can be applied to any size organization, in any country, and in any industry. Therefore, SA 8000 is relevant for a wide range of businesses, from small family-run businesses to large multinational corporations. Examples include:

  • Manufacturing
  • Construction
  • Food and beverage
  • Transportation
  • Textiles
  • Consumer goods

There may be multiple CCPs for a single food product, and they will vary depending on the type of product being produced. Establishing Critical Limits The third step in HACCP is to establish critical limits for each CCP. A critical limit is a maximum or minimum value that must not be exceeded for a particular hazard. For example, a critical limit for bacterial growth might be an internal temperature of food that must not exceed 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Monitoring Procedures The fo...
