SA8000认证，是“绊脚石”还是“通行证”
SA8000 certification, is "stumbling block" or "pass"
据了解，目前我国已有42家企业通过了SA8000认证，但让人尴尬的是，这42家企业申请SA8000认证并不是自发的，而是由国外企业推动的。其中既有企业是否重视的问题，也有操作难度的问题。SA8000的标准主要是根据美国本土企业制定的，由于经济水平有差距，很多指标并不适用于广大发展中国家，仅仅最低工资一项，发达国家和发展中国家就有着天壤之别。因此，中国企业要想顺利通过目前的SA8000认证还不太容易，必须认真做好前期准备工作。据介绍，SA8000认证从申请到批复大概要一年时间，有效期为三年，这期间每隔半年还要复查一次。
Reportedly, at present our country already had 42 enterprises have passed the SA8000 certification, but the embarrassing thing is that, the 42 enterprises to apply for SA8000 certification is not spontaneous, but by the foreign enterprises to promote the. Both of them whether enterprises pay attention to the problem, there is also the difficulty of the operation problems. The SA8000 standard is based mainly on the Native American enterprises to develop, because the economic level to have difference, many indicators are not applicable to the vast number of developing countries, only a minimum wage, developed and developing countries there is a world of difference. Therefore, if the Chinese enterprises want to pass the SA8000 certification is also not so easy, must do good pre-construction job seriously. According to introduction, SA8000 certification from application to approval of about a year, valid for a period of three years, this period also reviewed once every half a year.
如此严格的审查，能给企业带来什么好处呢？业内人士分析，首先可减少国外客户对供应商的第二方审核，节省费用；其次，有利于塑造企业有社会责任感的形象，使消费者对企业及产品更加信赖；还能加强合作伙伴对本企业的信心，有利于发展长期合作。因此，SA8000决不是一块无法躲避的绊脚石，而是和大家熟知的国际质量认证ISO9000、环境认证ISO14000一样，是中国企业更好地走向国际市场的通行证。
This critical review, enterprises can bring any good? Analysis of the industry, the first can reduce foreign customers to supplier the second party audit, cost savings; secondly, to shape the corporate social responsibility of the image, to enable consumers to enterprises and products more reliable; can strengthen the partner of the enterprise's confidence, is conducive to the development of long-term cooperation. Therefore, SA8000 is not a stumbling block but is unable to avoid, and the well-known international quality certification ISO9000, environmental certification ISO14000, Chinese enterprise is better to the international market pass.
