SMETA 4-Pillar Audit
Site-level responsible sourcing audit covering labour, health and safety, environment and business ethics.
We distinguish site-level social audits, management-system certification, machine conformity documentation and factory quality controls so procurement teams can verify the scope of each document.
Site-level responsible sourcing audit covering labour, health and safety, environment and business ethics.
Covered KNK-310 machine configurations are supported by the applicable conformity declaration and technical documentation.
Quality management system certification covering the legal entity and activities stated on the current certificate.
Each confirmed machine configuration is checked and trial-run before shipment against the agreed product requirements.
For the machine configurations identified in the applicable documentation, KNK completes the required conformity process, compiles supporting technical records and issues the relevant declaration before applying CE marking.
CE conformity is model- and configuration-specific. It should not be presented as a general company certification or extended to models not identified in the applicable documentation.
FAT is an internal and customer-facing quality-control process. It is separate from CE conformity and social auditing.
Assembly, guarding, fasteners, rollers, molds and moving sections are checked against the confirmed configuration.
Electrical functions, servo synchronization, sensors, emergency stops and HMI controls are verified.
The line is trial-run using agreed material and product parameters where customer samples are available.
Cutting, embossing, edge formation and stacking results are checked against the approved product specification.
Configuration records, operating information and the agreed delivery-document package are reviewed before dispatch.
Remote or on-site acceptance arrangements can be agreed as part of the commercial project requirements.
Document availability depends on the legal entity, machine model, project stage, confidentiality requirements and completion status.
Site and report information can be shared with qualified buyers through the appropriate Sedex or controlled review process.
The current certificate can be provided so buyers can verify the named holder, certified scope, issuing body and validity period.
Available according to the confirmed equipment configuration, contract scope and acceptance plan.
