Do factories have deadlines in the ICTI audit system?

There are two main deadlines. First, the factory must have an ICTI audit conducted by an ICTI-approved auditing company within one year of applying to participate in the ICTI audit system. Second, within the same time period, the factory must establish a basis for compliance with the ICTI Code of Business Practices through three audits by the auditing company. In other words, if the auditing company finds that the factory still does not comply with the ICTI Code of Business Conduct in some specific matters after the second follow-up audit, the factory will be removed from the ICTI application list and will not be able to reinstate the application within a ruling cycle of the ICTI Secretariat. The second follow-up audit will be the entirety of the ICTI third audit.

Specific information within the ICTI Business Practice Framework includes, but is not limited to, underage workers, local minimum wage standards, failure to pay overtime wages, and failure to provide rest days as required by law. Therefore, it is very important for factory management to implement corrective action plans for non-conformities in the report within the time limit specified in the report after the audit company issues the audit report.
