SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY 8000 ABOUT THE STANDARD
This is the second issue of SA8000, a uniform, auditable standard for a third
party verification system. Subject to periodic revision, SA8000 will continue to
evolve as interested parties specify improvements, corrections are identified
and as conditions change.
Many interested parties have advised on this version. SAI welcomes your advice
as well. To comment on SA8000, the associated Guidance Document, or the
framework for certification, please send written remarks to SAI.
The SA8000 Guidance Document helps explain SA8000 and its implementation;
provides examples of methods for verifying compliance; and serves as a handbook
for auditors and for companies seeking certification against SA8000.
It is hoped that both the standard and its Guidance Document will continuously
improve, with the help of a very wide variety of people and organisations.
