General informationAbout SA8000®:2014

About SA8000®:2014

The SA8000 Standard, established by SAI and one of the world’s preeminent social standards,

is a tool for implementing international labor standards to protect workers along each step of

the supply chain.

The SA8000 Standard is the central document of SAI’s work. It is one of the world’s first

auditable social certification standards for decent workplaces, across all industrial sectors. It is

based on the UN Declaration of Human Rights, conventions of the ILO, UN and national law,

and spans industry and corporate codes to create a common language to measure social

performance. SA8000 takes a management systems approach by setting out the structures and

procedures that companies must adopt in order to ensure that compliance with the standard is

continuously reviewed. Those seeking to comply with SA8000 have adopted policies and

procedures that protect the basic human rights of workers. SA8000 is universally applicable,

and certification is in principle available in any state or industry, although there are some

sectors where meeting all Standard requirements poses special difficulty due to industry norms

and technical needs. SA8000 is revised periodically as conditions change. Its revisions also

incorporate corrections and improvements received from interested parties.

SA8000:2014 is the latest version of the SA8000 Standard, the world’s leading voluntary

social certification standard for workplaces. In order to help organisations build and maintain

strong management systems to become SA8000 certified and continually improve, the

SA8000:2014 certification process now includes Social Fingerprint® that focuses on the

integrity and effectiveness of SA8000 certification. Social Fingerprint will help applicants and

certified organisations develop strong management systems to improve their social

performance and compliance with SA8000.

Social Fingerprint is a set of tools that help organisations measure and improve their

management systems for social performance. It identifies the weak links in an organisation’s

management system so clients can make targeted improvements and prioritize the most

important areas. Social Fingerprint teaches an organisation about the components of an

effective and functional management system, so it can maximize resources and create the best

system tailored for its specific needs and risks. Social Fingerprint is aligned with the

SA8000:2014 Management Systems criteria, breaking down the concept of a management

system into: 10 process-based categories

and 5 maturity levels. The key tools used in Social Fingerprint are:

• A management system self-assessment completed by the applicant organisation.

• An independent evaluation of the management system completed by the SA8000 auditor.

• A rating chart that explains the maturity levels for each of the 10 categories.

Many details about the standard you can also find online at the SAI website.

General informationAbout SAAS

About SAAS - Social Accountability Accreditation Services

SAAS is an independent organization that oversees the accreditation of Certification Bodies

and course providers to ensure SA8000 training is delivered in a consistent and professional

manner.

Social Accountability Accreditation Services (SAAS) is an accreditation agency that works to

evaluate, accredit, and monitor organizations that demonstrate competency to audit and certify

organizations that conform to social standards. While Social Accountability International

(SAI) is the creator and owner of the SA8000 Standard, SAAS provides oversight to the

accreditation of certification bodies and the certification of SA8000.

SAAS is the only global accreditation body whose mission is to support implementation of

social and labor standards – this is accomplished through oversight and evaluation services

designed to assess the competency of auditing systems and individual auditors.

How SAAS Got Started

SAAS began work in 1997 as an accreditation department within SAI and was formally

established as its own independent, not-for-profit organization in 2007. In 1998, SAAS began

accrediting Certification Bodies to perform audits that certify qualifying organizations to the

SA8000 Standard. In the structure of management systems accredited certification, there must

be systems in place to control processes and to show that performance is compliant with those

requirements. The idea that a system must include objective verification and evaluation for

competence to perform their task was at the core of developing an accreditation and oversight

system.

SAAS has since expanded its scope to include accrediting bodies to audit against the

InterAction PVO standard, conducting oversight of the BSCI verification code, development of

the Magen Tzedek program, accreditation of the GoodWeave International system, and

oversight and monitoring of organizations delivering SA8000 Training, including SAI.

SAAS Accreditation

SAAS is the only international accreditation body offering third party accreditation for social

audit certification systems. SAAS has built its reputation by offering systems to provide

oversight of social audit programs in a consistent, reliable, and transparent manner.

SAAS accreditation and assurance programs include SA8000 Certification and SA8000

Auditor Training, BSCI Code of Conduct Audits, GoodWeave International, Magen Tzedek,

and InterAction PVO standards.

BECOMING AN SA8000 AUDITOR

If you are interested in becoming an SA8000 Auditor, you must take an SA8000 course

accredited by Social Accountability Accreditation Services (SAAS) as well as meet the

requirements as set out in SAAS Procedure 200. SAAS is an independent organization that

oversees the accreditation of Certification Bodies and course providers to ensure SA8000

training is delivered in a consistent and professional manner. All SA8000 auditor and allied

expert personnel and other personnel involved in certification functions must possess the

generic competence described in ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015 as well as the specific social

accountability competencies described in the document “SAAS Procedure 201B”:Grade SA8000 Auditor: Details in SAAS Procedure 201B - Page 11.

Grade SA8000 Lead Auditor: Details in SAAS Procedure 201B – Page 13.

The purpose of the above mentioned document is to supplement the accreditation requirements

within other normative documents (SAAS Procedure 201A, ISO/IEC 17011:2004, and

ISO17021-1:2015). It achieves this by further defining minimum competence and maintenance

knowledge, language skills and cultural knowledge required to perform the audit being

undertaken, (refer to Procedure 200 and Procedure 201A for detailed requirements regarding

the planning and composition of audit teams).

The field of Social Responsibility has been continually improving and expanding to

enhance human rights at the work place. Improving global working conditions is

important for workers and their families, and it is important for businesses and

consumers. As the field of social performance expands from auditing to capacity

building, the professional requirements for auditors and consultants evolve daily.

Having the tools to help companies and individuals measure and improve in the

areas of social performance, supply chain management, and management systems

development and implementation is critical.

SAI training courses are designed to encourage proficiency in social compliance and

emphasize the implementation of management systems in combination with

performance elements embedded in the SA8000 Standard. These courses are

required for all SA8000 auditors, and are just as valuable to internal auditors,

buyers, managers and workers for auditing to any labor code or standard – as

we see these audiences in our training courses. SAI’s training courses are open to

all.

www.CISEO.ro

Goal of SA8000 Basic Auditor Training Course

The five-day SA8000 Introduction & Basic Auditor Training Course trains certification

auditors and professionals from a wide range of backgrounds and interests.

Over the years the course has drawn auditors, corporate compliance staff, managers

from brands, retailers and manufacturers, government officials, academics, and trade

union and NGO representatives. The course provides practical knowledge on the main

issues of social auditing and performance, using the SA8000 management systems

approach. It provides training in:

• Key concepts and background on social compliance in the supply chain and social

auditing

• Understanding the elements of the SA8000 Standard

• Review of common compliance problems and possible solutions

• Effective auditing techniques related to each social compliance element

• Effective methods for managing risk in a facility or across a whole supply chain

The guidance document, in-depth case studies, virtual factory tours and highly

interactive group exercises allow for hands-on learning and practical application

methods and tools. The course concludes with a comprehensive exam, and students

who successfully pass are awarded a Certificate of Successful Completion.

The SA8000 Basic Auditor Training Course has recently been updated to reflect

the SA8000:2014 changes as well as incorporating the emerging issues and

techniques in the field of social compliance auditing. SAI trains certification auditors

and professionals from a wide range of backgrounds and interests. About 1,000

people take the course every year with SAI, and the Basic course has drawn auditors,

corporate compliance staff, managers from brands, retailers and manufacturers,

government officials, academics, and trade union and NGO representatives.

As of July 1, 2015, the SA8000 Basic Auditor training course has been fully updated

and is now structured differently. This course now takes a Modular Approach, so that

our increasingly diverse audiences can tailor the training for their needs.

SA8000 Advanced Auditor Training Course www.CISEO.ro

*Please note: The SA8000 Basic Course is also a pre-requisite for the SA8000

Advanced Course. Participants must have already successfully completed the

course and exam prior to enrolling in the SA8000 Advanced Course.

Social auditors play an essential role in maintaining the integrity of the SA8000

certification and other labor audits to ensure human rights in workplaces around the

world. As of February 2012, SAI's SA8000 Advanced Auditor Training Course consists

of two mandatory components: online training and classroom training.

Part 1: Online Training: SA8000 Advanced Auditor Pre-Requisite Online

Course

This online course reviews fundamental concepts and highlights from SAI’s 5-day Basic

Auditor classroom course. It is a pre-requisite to SAI’s 3-day Advanced Auditor

classroom course. The goal is to promote a stimulating, value-added learning

environment - where all participants enter the Advanced Auditor classroom well-

prepared and ready to engage with trainers and peers in the advanced exercises and

discussions. The course can also be taken as a standalone, for those seeking a primer

or refresher on key aspects of management-systems based auditing for labor

standards.

Topics include:

o Auditor Attitudes, Skills & Knowledge;

o International Labor Conventions and Standards;

o Labor Standards Elements: Child Labor, Forced Labor, Health & Safety, Freedom of

Association, Discrimination, Disciplinary Practices, Working Hours, Remuneration

and Management Systems;

o SA8000 Certification System;

o Auditor Role and Audit Process;

o Preview of Advanced Auditor Course: Enhancing Auditor Competencies.

The online course takes about 2 hours to complete and may be accessed on-demand

at the participant's convenience. On-screen slides, recorded audio/video, and non-

scored quizzes provide an interactive learning experience. Finally, a scored on-screen

exam helps participants gauge whether they have effectively absorbed the material.

SA8000 ADVANCED AUDITOR TRAINING

Part 2: Classroom Training: 3 days SA8000 Advanced Auditor Classroom

Course

The 3-day classroom course reinforces and develops advanced knowledge, skills

and attitudes for experienced social auditors. The class builds on the collective

experiences of the participants, offering insight into fundamental issues that arise

on a regular basis in field assessments.

Key topics:

o Expanded compliance knowledge of industry sector and regional issues;

o Enhanced auditing skills and expertise through extensive case studies and role

play exercises ;

o Tools to assess adequate levels of client performance in areas such as basic

needs wage, overtime hours, freedom of association and control of suppliers;

o Interview techniques essential to gathering accurate information from workers,

NGOs, labor organizations and other parties.

This course is designed to simulate an audit and includes document review,

worker interviews, writing non-conformance requests and conducting open and

closed meetings.

The class concludes with a one-hour examination taken on the final day of the

course to ensure that each student has absorbed the critical teaching points

successfully and students who successfully pass are awarded a Certificate of

Successful Completion.

Both online and classroom components are required for all participants - neither

component is available as a standalone and one cannot be substituted for the

other. Anyone who does not complete the online course or scores below 75% on

both exam attempts will have 10 points deducted from the final classroom exam.
