*NOTICE: Accredited SA8000 certificates are granted ONLY by CBs accredited by SAAS.

Only organizations listed on the SAAS website are accredited by SAAS and have the ability to grant legitimate, recognized SA8000 certificates. Any other claim is false and should be reported to SAAS. This authorization is based on SAAS's semi-annual accreditation audits and oversight of the CB's training, procedures, and audit management process.

SAAS has been notified that there are a number of real-looking SA8000 "certificates" issued in Turkey, Romania, Czech Republic, India, Italy and elsewhere, given by companies that do not have the right to do so because the quality of their work is not approved or overseen by the SAAS accreditation system. Please do not mistakenly accept such certificates or contract with such organizations for SA8000 services. To check the validity of an SA8000 certificate, you can view the full list of certified facilities, updated quarterly, on this website.

If your organization is interested in being accredited by SAAS to certify facilities to SA8000, please see visit the accreditation pages to learn how to apply.
