    Request a textile Certification

    The first step is to contact us at ustextileteam@controlunion.com, where we will be able to set up a call to directly discuss the specific nature of your certification.

    Submit Application Form

    Either prior to meeting with us or after gaining further clarification during our call, you will submit the program specific application form sent to you by our team.

    Receive Offer Letter

    Once we have your application(s), we will provide you with an offer letter that will indicate the price and scope of your certification.

    Accept Offer Letter and Begin Planning

    Once accepting and signing the offer letter, we will contact you about setting up dates for your audit. Once an auditor is assigned to your audit, an agenda, audit plan, and checklist will be sent to prepare for your audit.

    Audit Review

    Your audit results will be reviewed by a secondary person, called the certifier, who ultimately decides whether certification will be granted. If you had corrective actions to approach, these need to be sent in for the review process to begin.

    Gey your Certification!

    If the results have been approved, you will receive your Scope Certificate. If the results were not satisfactory, you will need to submit your corrective actions within the agreed time frame.
