受疫情影响关于amfori BSCI中国区审核有效期官方通知

近期很多工厂都在问我们，我们的BSCI审核报告快要到期了，审核公司又审核不了，我们工厂员工又没到齐，我们现在还没有开工，怎么办?,那么现在BSCI给我们有条件的放宽了要求，因疫情影响BSCI报告的有效期全部延长3个月，没有正式复工的企业需要年度审核和跟进审核的可与第三方和客户协商；

以下为通知原文翻译：

新型冠状病毒爆发后的建议

在不到两个月的时间里,从中国武汉市出现新冠状病毒已经传播到世界各地,在中国杀死了1000多人,并在国外感染数百人。最新的官方更新可以在世界卫生组织的网站上找到。

中国政府已指示北京,上海等大城市以及湖省附近地区的市民呆在室内,不要离开家。在过去的几周中,这导致生暂停,远程业务运营和城市间边境关闭,从而导致全球供应链中断。尽管在长的农历新年假期后生产基地正在逐步恢复工作,但要完全恢复生产能力还为时过早。

对 amfori活动的影响

与审计公司和RSP持有人达成协议后该地区的某些监视活动已被取消或推迟。根据中国政府的官方公告建议,在疫情发后, amfori将对受影响生产者的审核有效期再延长三个月。

在中国,能力建设活动已推迟到2月份进行。以下培训课程已取消：

如果发生以下情况：

全面审核即将到期,需要进行后续审核,或者审核周期即将到期我们建议RSP持有人：

与审核公司联系以确认是否可以安排审核。如果审计公司确认无法进行审计,并且审计到期,则可以将审计有效延长3个月。该扩展名在amfori BSCI平台上不可见,但是将在审核请求中适用。

为了保留RSP,会员可以要求对以后的日期进行审核。强烈建议与生产商和审核公司联系以更多信息,并就来的时间间隔达成协议。您可以使用审核请求屏幕中“审核员信息部分的审核员说明字段与审核公司进一步沟通。

官网原文如下：

In less than two months the new coronavirus that emerged from the Chinese city of Wuhan has spread around the world, killing over 1000 people in China and infecting hundreds outside of the country. Latest official updates can be found on the World Health Organization’s website.

The Chinese Government has instructed citizens in large cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, and regions close to Hubei province to stay indoors and not leave their homes. This has resulted in production suspension, remote business operation and inter-city border closures over the past weeks, generating global disruption in supply chains. Although production sites are gradually resuming work after the extended Chinese Lunar New Year Holiday, it is still premature to envisage when the production capacity will resume completely.

Impact on amfori activities

- Certain monitoring activities in the region have been cancelled or postponed in agreement with the auditing companies and RSP holders. As per the Chinese Government’s official announcement recommendation, amfori will extend the audit validity of affected producers for three more months following the end of the outbreak.

- Capacity building activities have been postponed for the month of February in China. The below training sessions have been cancelled:

Should the crisis continue to worsen, further planned capacity building activities in March may also be cancelled or rescheduled for a future date. Should that be the case, amfori will contact registrants in advance and inform via the amfori Academy. Members and producers in China can always benefit from the e-learning opportunities available in this platform.

Recommendations for amfori members

- Follow up closely with your local producers to evaluate the potential impact that the outbreak may have in operations and in order to prepare a contingency plan, should it be needed.

- In the event that:

A full audit is approaching its expiry date and a follow up audit needs to be requested, or

An audit cycle is approaching its expiry date

We recommend the RSP holder:

To contact the auditing company to confirm whether the audit can be scheduled or not. If the auditing company confirms the audit cannot be conducted, and the audit comes to expiration, the audit expiry date can be extended by 3 months. The extension will not be visible on the amfori BSCI platform, but will be applicable within the audit request screen.

In order to keep the RSP, the member can therefore request an audit for a future date. It is highly recommended to contact the producer and auditing company for more information and agree on the future time windows. You can make use of the field “instructions for auditor” under the Auditor Information section in the audit request screen to further communicate with the auditing company.
