SMETA is Sedex's social-audit methodology. It is not a certification, product approval or pass/fail scheme. An audit record applies only to the audited site, date and scope stated in the audit documentation.

What This Record Does and Does Not Show
- It identifies a recorded audit for the stated site, Datum, audit company, reference and four-pillar scope.
- It does not certify every icebagchina product, facility, supplier or production lot.
- It does not establish continuing compliance outside the audit date and documented scope.
- It does not replace a buyer's current supplier due diligence, corrective-action review or site-specific approval process.
How Buyers Can Review the Record
When the audit is relevant to a supplier review, identify the company, project and site being assessed. Ask for the approved audit summary, the permitted corrective-action information and the current follow-up status for that specific site. Confidential or personal information may be redacted, and document access may be limited by the audit owner's permissions.
Read the audit record together with the buyer's own due-diligence requirements and any current site follow-up; do not rely on a page title or logo as the approval decision.
For Sedex's explanation of the methodology and its limits, see the official Introduction to SMETA. Sedex weist darauf hin, dass es keine Zertifizierungsstelle ist und SMETA nicht nach dem Schema „bestanden/nicht bestanden“ bewertet.
