Certifications & Standards
The standards we work to and against.
Certifications are held by our partner factories, not by Together Sourcing Limited as a buying house. We are precise about this because your compliance team will be.
We match each order to a factory holding the standards your destination market and your customers require, and provide current certificates before production begins.
