Production verification services
Ensuring that a product is fully manufactured in the declared factory is a vital part of a company’s sourcing compliance policies, and required audits. Unauthorised subcontracting, partially or fully, poses a real risk to product quality and policy compliance, damaging brand image and exposing the company to liability. Production verification services (PVS) offer assurance to buyers that a product is produced in the declared factory.
Risk mitigation through production confirmation
Our production verification services have been developed to minimise the risks arising from unauthorised subcontracting in complex supply chains. We help you to:
- Assure key stakeholders, particularly downstream partners, that the specific product is manufactured in the declared facility
- Demonstrate to consumers that the company is committed to actively taking measures to ensure products are manufactured in declared facilities
- Establish confidence within the company that risks related to unapproved subcontracting are being considered and mitigated
- Provide a level of due diligence to interested parties, including government agencies, in response to identified cases of production in facilities beyond the declared facilities
