What's Inside:
A factory that looks capable on paper and a factory that's actually compliant are two different things — and the gap between them usually shows up at the worst possible moment: after the goods have shipped. This guide walks through what responsible sourcing looks like in practice, at every stage of the supply chain.
It covers agreeing raw material specifications, assessing factories before you place business, managing quality control and testing, and building batch traceability that means a problem in one shipment doesn't force a recall of everything you've ever ordered. It also covers the record-keeping that lets you prove you did all of this, if a customer, retailer or enforcement authority ever asks.
This edition adds coverage of the UK Flammability Regulations and EU GPSR, alongside the sourcing fundamentals, bringing the guide fully up to date with the current regulatory picture.
