Comparison between SA8000 and ISO standards

As internationally renowned certification standards, SA8000 and ISO have been of great help to enterprises in various regions around the world, and have even played a huge role in promoting the development of certain industries. The similarities and differences between them are as follows:
1. Similarities:
In addition to adopting international labor conventions, the SA8000 standard also directly adopts the management system model adopted by the ISO9000 quality management system standard and the ISO14000 environmental management system standard;
SA8000 standard, like ISO standard, also adopts the requirements of management system and continuous improvement. 2. Differences:
1. First of all, in terms of requirements, the ISO standard only has management system requirements, no performance requirements, while SA8000 has requirements for both performance and management system.
2. In terms of standard scope, ISO system standards are first national standards and then integrated into international standards, while SA8000 is a global standard from the beginning.
3. In terms of workers, ISO system standards pay less attention to worker interviews, while SA8000 standards will pay special attention to worker interviews if the results of the worker interviews constitute evidence.
4. Generally speaking, each element of ISO system standards is relatively independent, while in SA8000 standards, each element is closely related.
