Question 1

Why do I need a factory audit before placing an order?

Accepted Answer

A factory audit verifies that the supplier has the capability, certifications, and quality systems to fulfill your order. It protects you from working with underqualified suppliers and reduces risk of delays, quality issues, or compliance violations.

Question 2

What certifications do you check during the audit?

Accepted Answer

We verify business licenses, quality certificates (ISO 9001, etc.), export licenses, and any product-specific certifications. We also check for social compliance certifications like SA8000 if applicable.

Question 3

How long does a factory audit take?

Accepted Answer

A comprehensive factory audit typically takes half a day to a full day, depending on factory size and complexity. You receive your detailed report within 48 hours.

Question 4

Can you do unannounced audits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can conduct unannounced visits to verify ongoing compliance. This is particularly useful for verifying that suppliers maintain standards after initial certification.

Question 5

Do you audit factories outside Kathmandu?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we travel throughout Nepal including to Bhaktapur, Patan, Pokhara, Biratnagar, and other industrial areas. Travel within Kathmandu Valley is included at no extra cost. For factories outside the valley, a flat USD 200 surcharge covers round-trip transportation and one night's accommodation.
