How to review textile traceability evidence.
Traceability evidence should be reviewed in context. A document may apply to a particular facility, material, product, period or transaction rather than an entire supply chain.
Check the issuing body, holder, validity period, product or site scope, transaction references and any chain-of-custody requirements. Where relevant, match documents to purchase records, lot identifiers and shipment information. Distinguish a supplier’s general certification from evidence that a specific material or order is covered.
Key takeaway: Do not make broader sustainability claims than the evidence supports. Ask for clarification where the scope is unclear.
