WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত পেতে কত খরচ হবে?

Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) is a non-profit social compliance verification organization. Our funding model is entirely fee-for-service; we do not charge membership dues, solicit government grants, or turn to foundations or charitable donations for funds. All of our operational expenses are covered by revenues generated from our services. We work hard to deliver value while keeping costs and fees low, and the last time we increased our registration fees was back in 2010; it stayed at US$1,195 for well over a decade. However, to continue being able to deliver the high value for which we have become known, we must make investments that facilitate growth – including making IT system upgrades and adding new staff in regions that require more resources.

We had to give serious thought to the fees we charge and we knew we are not alone in this regard. We are mindful of the financial strain businesses are facing in the current global economic landscape – a burden felt especially by small facilities who naturally have fewer resources at their disposal (in fact, we conducted a pricing pilot from 2022-2023 that offered certain smaller factories a reduced application fee).

With all of that in mind, our pricing structure was recently revised to reduce the application fee for facilities with 200 workers or fewer (which represent 30% of the facilities in our program) and increase the fee for larger facilities. This pricing structure went into effect January 1, 2024.

The registration fee does not include the price of the audit, which is set by the individual monitoring firms and paid directly to them by the facility seeking certification. আরও তথ্যের জন্য আমাদের সার্টিফিকেশন পৃষ্ঠা দেখুন.

All facilities with 100 or fewer workers pay only $650, while facilities with a worker count between 101 and 200 pay $950. Facilities with 201 – 1,000 workers are charged a registration fee of $1,350 and facilities with 1,001 workers or more pay $1,550. The chart above provides this information as a table.

WRAP’s mission remains the same as it was when we were founded 24 years ago – to ensure safe and responsible working conditions while helping suppliers grow their businesses by meeting or exceeding buyers’ social compliance expectations. We appreciate the trust and confidence you have placed in our team, making WRAP the premier certification program for this industry. We remain fully committed to our mission and to working with you to promote socially responsible supply chains.

Why did WRAP raise its application fee?
We lowered the fee for 30 percent of our facilities and instituted a price increase for larger facilities to ensure we can continue to make necessary investments and provide the high-quality services expected by our stakeholders. Our team worked hard to delay price increases for more than 10 years.

When is the worker count established, in the application or at the time of the audit?
The application fee is paid based on the number of workers that are reported at the time of application. However, WRAP will compare the number of workers reported on the application against the number of workers recorded at the time of the audit and if there is difference that impacts the facility’s fee category, WRAP reserves the right to withhold certification until the correct fee (based on the audited worker count) is paid.

কে WRAP সার্টিফিকেশন চাইতে পারেন?

WRAP certificates can only be granted to individual production units. Holding companies, brands, and retailers are not eligible to apply. Furthermore, our certification program is mainly focused on sewn products, apparel, footwear, and related industries.

কিভাবে একটি উৎপাদন সুবিধা WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত হয়?

Attaining a WRAP certificate involves a five-step process. It begins with the production facility filing an initial application with WRAP and paying the registration fee. Then the facility will conduct a pre-audit self-assessment (PASA) of its compliance with WRAP’s 12 নীতি, which is followed by an audit conducted by one of our accredited monitoring firms. The report from that audit is sent to WRAP to be reviewed by our compliance team. An independent review board will then decide whether to issue a certificate. আরও তথ্যের জন্য আমাদের সার্টিফিকেশন পৃষ্ঠা দেখুন.

WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত পেতে কতক্ষণ লাগে?

এটি আবেদনের সময় সুবিধার প্রস্তুতির উপর নির্ভর করে। প্রত্যয়িত হতে ছয় সপ্তাহের মতো সময় লাগতে পারে কিন্তু শংসাপত্রের জন্য আবেদন জমা দেওয়ার সময় থেকে 2-6 মাস বা বিরল ক্ষেত্রে আরও বেশি সময় লাগতে পারে।  See our certification page for more information.

একটি সুবিধা WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত কিনা আমি কিভাবে খুঁজে পেতে পারি?

A list of currently certified facilities can be found on our বিশ্ব মানচিত্র. To have your facility displayed on the map, please email our Compliance Administration department.

আমি কি একাধিক সুবিধার জন্য একটি একক WRAP শংসাপত্র পেতে পারি?

না। প্রতিটি ইউনিটকে আলাদাভাবে প্রক্রিয়ার মধ্য দিয়ে যেতে হবে।

একটি নির্দিষ্ট ব্র্যান্ড WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত বলে দাবি করে। এটা কি সত্য?

No. Brands and retailers themselves cannot be WRAP-certified. We only audit and certify individual production units.

আমার জামাকাপড় একটি WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত সুবিধার মধ্যে তৈরি হয়েছে কিনা তা আমি কীভাবে জানব?

গার্মেন্টস এবং পাদুকাগুলির সাপ্লাই চেইনগুলি দীর্ঘ এবং জটিল, এর মধ্যে যেকোন একটিকে সম্পূর্ণরূপে WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত সুবিধাগুলিতে তৈরি হিসাবে ট্যাগ করা খুব কঠিন করে তোলে। উদাহরণস্বরূপ, একটি শার্টের চূড়ান্ত সমাবেশ একটি WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত সুবিধার মধ্যে অনুষ্ঠিত হতে পারে, কাপড়, বোতাম বা অন্যান্য উপাদানগুলি এমন একটি সুবিধাতে তৈরি করা হতে পারে যা WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত নয়। WRAP একটি ভোক্তা-মুখী সংস্থা নয়; আমরা আমাদের প্রত্যয়িত সুবিধাগুলিতে তৈরি পোশাক এবং পাদুকা ট্যাগ করার জন্য একটি সিস্টেম বজায় রাখি না। তবে বেশ কিছু ব্র্যান্ড এবং খুচরা বিক্রেতারা তাদের ওয়েবসাইটে নির্দেশ করতে বেছে নিয়েছে যে তারা WRAP-প্রত্যয়িত সুবিধাগুলি থেকে উত্স করে কিনা।

What companies accept WRAP certificates?

Over 700 buyers, brands, and retailers around the world accept our certification, though each of them does so in varying ways according to their own unique social compliance programs. WRAP continues to be the most widely accepted independent certification in the sewn products industry. Some companies may choose to accept a WRAP certification in lieu of their own audits, while others prefer to accept WRAP certifications only for facilities where they themselves have conducted the initial inspection. Some companies have also elected to accept WRAP certificates only in specific countries, or solely for their licensees, or only in facilities that have been audited by a particular firm.
