The adoption, deployment and monitoring of the WRAP Principles by production facilities in the sewn product industry, as measured with the evidentiary requirements of the WRAP Certification Program is the full responsibility of those who own and operate the factories. The evidence of compliance with the WRAP Principles is uniform and required by all participating facilities. The process in which the evidence is gathered and assessed is also uniformly and pragmatically applied by the Independent Monitors selected to perform the on-site evaluation. The purpose of the WRAP Monitor Accreditation is to maintain the integrity, legitimacy and objectiveness of the evaluation process and assure the uniform application of the procedures. The WRAP Certification Board encourages all commercial and non-profit organizations throughout the world, which are qualified to perform professional and objective manufacturing facility evaluations, to apply for accreditation to the WRAP Certification Program.
Accreditation is conferred on a country specific basis according to qualifications.
Only the WRAP Certification Board can grant full accreditation to independent monitors for the WRAP Certification Program. Only accredited Independent Monitors can perform the on-site manufacturing facility evaluations of compliance for the WRAP Certification Program. No Independent Monitors, nor persons under their employ, can be directly or indirectly related in a legal, financial or familial capacity to the production facilities, and companies that participate in the WRAP Certification Program. All Independent Monitors, and their employees that are designated to perform WRAP Certification Program on-site evaluations, must participate in and complete a WRAP authorized Independent Monitor Training Course to qualify for full Accreditation. Provisional Accreditation maybe granted on a temporary, conditional basis by the WRAP Executive Director, until such Monitor Training Program is made available and successfully completed by Independent Monitors and their employees.
