What are the common problems with SCS certification?

The standard requires customers to certify historical products produced at the factory and to declare the minimum proportion of recycled ingredients in the product.

SCS agencies and auditors have promised in the PSA Agreement that no confidential information will be disclosed to any third party outside SCS, regardless of the supplier's name, product description design or manufacturing process.

Finally, after passing the SCS certification, SCS will issue a certificate to the customer to prove that the customer meets the requirements of the SCS Recycling Standards Version 7, and the factory address, product and corresponding percentage of recycled components will also be reflected in the certificate.

It is important not to relax the vigilance and think that the entire plant area can be controlled; monitoring equipment There must also be a clear impact at night.

Visitors must present their photo IDs when entering the factory. Don't be too polite, fill out the ID number and name and issue the visiting card. If it is not a person, be sure to visit the one-to-one number in the future. They wear it at will.
