How often are factories audited?

There is no limit on how many times a facility can be audited, meaning that they can be inspected as many times as it takes for them to make improvements and demonstrated compliance as long as they maintain a valid registration with WRAP. Successive audits must generally be conducted at least 45 days apart, however. For certified facilities, the frequency of audits depends on the certification level. Silver facilities are inspected at least every six months, Gold facilities are inspected at least every year, and Platinum facilities are inspected at least once every two years. All certified facilities, regardless of certification level, are also subject to random, unannounced Post-Certification Assessments that can occur at any time and have no limit on how often they can be performed.
