ACCORD
Promoting Building Fire Safety
How long does the Sample Development process take?
Typically, a first development sample takes 10-14 days depending on fabric availability and construction complexity. Fit samples usually follow within 7 days of initial revisions.
What materials do I need to provide for sampling?
Ideally, a comprehensive Tech Pack, fabric specifications, and any reference samples. If you don’t have these, our design team can help develop them through our technical design services.
What is the significance of the Accord in Bangladesh?
The Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh is a critical legally binding agreement. All our primary Bangladesh partners are Accord-compliant, ensuring structural, electrical, and fire safety for all workers.
How do you manage SEDEX social compliance?
We require SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) reports from all production facilities, focusing on labor standards, health and safety, environment, and business ethics.
Are all your partners Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified?
The vast majority of our production chain is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, ensuring that the final products are free from harmful substances and are safe for human ecological use.
Do you provide compliance reports to clients?
Yes, transparency is central to our service. We provide relevant certification copies, audit summaries, and project-specific compliance reports as part of our standard production package.
