Auditing for Toys, Games, and Hardlines
Intertek has engaged a network of highly trained and locally educated auditors who are well versed in the Toys, Games, and Hardlines industries. Intertek auditors are currently monitoring thousands of factories per year in more than 100 countries worldwide for most major retail and brand companies, thus establishing Intertek as the preferred auditing firm.
Intertek offers the following auditing solutions for your systems, processes, and end all products throughout the Toys, Games, and Hardlines supply chains:
amfori BSCI Monitoring
The amfori BSCI is based on the labor standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and other important international regulations like the UN Charta for Human Rights, as well as on national regulations. The Initiative aims at continuously improving the social performance of suppliers, leading to best practices and thus sustainably enhancing working conditions in factories worldwide.
Intertek Compliance Verification
In order to facilitate the manufacturers to meet or exceed the compliance level, Intertek provides compliance verification against the local law requirements. At the end of the audit, a factual report indicating corrective actions required, if any, is issued to the requester to enable the facilities to be in compliance with the applicable local laws.
SA 8000 Program
SA8000 is based on the principles of 11 Conventions of International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It provides companies with a system to integrate social accountability into all of their policies and practices.
The requirements for toy testing become increasingly stringent with each day that passes. Many countries have established their own safety regulations for these items and you must ensure that your products comply with relevant standards before your goods can be sold in these locations.
As the largest player in the toys, games, and premium testing industry with over 1,000 laboratories and offices in over 100 countries, Intertek can help safeguard its clients by providing product safety testing, certification, inspection, evaluation, and quality assurance services.
