Traceability Solutions by Bureau Veritas

In today's dynamic marketplace, traceability is becoming more and more important for businesses. Consumers are demanding greater transparency, regulations are evolving to require detailed sourcing information, and efficient supply chain management hinges on complete visibility.

Bureau Veritas Traceability Solution empowers you to meet these demands and build a traceable, more sustainable supply chain. The solution is designed to allow companies to discover, analyze, verify, and monitor their suppliers, products, and components across the entire supply chain.

Supply Chain Traceability Solution

Our Supply Chain Traceability Solution provides visibility into your supply chain. We assess, verify, and monitor details of material, production, and traceability documentation. This empowers you to develop a robust program and identify weakness in the system.

Our solution for Supply Chain Traceability includes two key services:

Production Validation click here

Our Production Validation service provides an in-depth on-site assessment to verify compliance with your traceability systems and identify potential risks within your supply chain. We help you:

Mitigate Risk: Identify potential problems like unauthorized subcontracting or improper material sourcing before they disrupt your operations.
Enhance Traceability: Verify that complete and accurate documentation is maintained throughout production, creating a foundation for effective product recalls and streamlined logistics.
Promote Ethical Sourcing: Confirm adherence to agreed-upon practices, ensuring your supply chain aligns with your social responsibility goals.

Material Traceability Assessment (MTA) click here

This service goes deeper, investigating the materials used in your products. Our team evaluates your manufacturer's traceability system to:

Support Material Claims: Confirm the accuracy of information regarding material content and origin. This is crucial for claims about recycled content, organic materials, or specific fiber types.
Strengthen Regulatory Compliance: Meet evolving regulations that demand transparency in material sourcing.
Improve Quality Control: Gain a deeper understanding of material usage throughout production, fostering better quality control measures.
Facilitate Product Recalls: Allow quick and efficient product recall. Identify affected products or components by tracing the origins.

Product & Material-Level Traceability Solution

In addition to supply chain traceability, Product & Material-Level Traceability provide an extra layer of transparency to your traceability program. Our Product & Material Traceability Solution has a comprehensive suite of testing services empower you to verify the materials used in your products, from source to shelf.

The deep level of traceability builds trust and strengthens your product claims and brand reputation. Here are four key services of our Product & Material Traceability Solutions:

Organic Cotton Verification Test: It has the capabilities to verify claims on “100% Organic cotton”. The detection method is based on a DNA test that verifies the presence or absence of genetically modified cotton in the flock, thread, fabric or final garment.
Cotton DNA Testing: Verify the authenticity of your cotton products with DNA testing. Perfect for brands using Egyptian or Pima cotton who want to verify the presence of these specific, high-quality materials in their products. We extract DNA from the submitted cotton samples and use a hi-tech fingerprinting method called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to check if the DNA matches to any variety of Egyptian or Pima cotton.
Oritain Scientific Traceability: Utilize a unique fingerprint of elements and isotopes to pinpoint the exact geographical origin of various materials in your products. Applicable across diverse industries, from food and textiles to pharmaceuticals – ideal for verifying the origin claims you make about your materials.
Vegan Verification Testing: Employ a multi-pronged scientific approach using proteomics, microscopy, and spectrometry to detect any animal-derived materials throughout the manufacturing process. Verifies vegan integrity for fashion brands and manufacturers of vegan products, allowing you to confidently communicate your commitment to vegan practices.

International Schemes

In addition, we also provide Better Cotton Solution to empower traceability and responsible cotton sourcing for brands, retailers, and sellers. The solution includes

Better Cotton Independent Assessment: To verify brand and retailer members’ annual Better Cotton consumption data submission and verify the reliability and consistency of cotton consumption measurements. Mandatory for BC's Retailer and Brand members.
