获得 WRAP 证书需要多少费用？
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. 有关详细信息，请参阅我们的认证页面.
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.
谁可以申请WRAP证书？
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.
生产设施如何获得 WRAP 证书？
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项原则, 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. 有关详细信息，请参阅我们的认证页面.
获得 WRAP 证书需要多长时间？
这取决于申请时设施的准备情况。获得证书可能需要短短六周的时间，但可能需要 2-6 个月，在极少数情况下甚至更长时间，从提交申请以获取证书的时间。 See our certification page for more information.
我如何才能知道设施是否通过了 WRAP 认证？
A list of currently certified facilities can be found on our 世界地图. To have your facility displayed on the map, please email our Compliance Administration department.
我可以为多个设施获得一个 WRAP 证书吗？
不可以。每个单元必须单独进行该过程。
某个品牌声称获得了 WRAP 证书。这是真的？
No. Brands and retailers themselves cannot be WRAP-certified. We only audit and certify individual production units.
我怎么知道我的衣服是不是在 WRAP 认证的设施生产的？
服装和鞋类的供应链又长又复杂，因此很难将其中任何一种标记为完全由 WRAP 认证的设施制造。例如，虽然衬衫的最终组装可能是在 WRAP 认证的设施中进行的，但布料、纽扣或其他组件可能是在未经 WRAP 认证的设施中制造的。 WRAP 不是面向消费者的组织；我们没有一个系统来标记在我们认证的设施中生产的服装和鞋类。然而，一些品牌和零售商选择在他们的网站上表明他们是否来自 WRAP 认证的设施。
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.
