Certification is somebody else's signature on a factory, not the factory's own word. Here is every standard buyers ask us about, what each is genuinely for, and where we stand on it today.
Rexzee Sports does not currently hold third party certification. No BSCI, no SEDEX, no OEKO-TEX, no ISO, no WRAP. We would rather you read that here than discover it at an audit.
That matters for some buyers and not for others. A club ordering match kit, an independent gym brand or a distributor building a private label range will not usually be asked for any of it. A supermarket, a high street retailer or a public sector tender will require it before a purchase order exists, and if that is you, we are not yet the right supplier and we will say so at enquiry rather than at inspection.
What we do have is an inspection process that is written down, applied at five points, and evidenced with photographs and a measured audit against your own approved sample rather than a generic chart. It is not a substitute for certification and we do not present it as one. It is simply what we can show you.
Social compliance. Independent auditors check wages, hours, workplace safety, freedom of association and grievance procedures on the floor. SEDEX is the shared database, SMETA the audit format. Required by most European and UK retail chains before a first order and re audited on a cycle.
Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production. The same ground as BSCI but originating in the apparel industry and more common with North American buyers. Certified in gold, silver or platinum tiers by audited score.
Chemical safety of the material itself. Tests finished fabric and trims for substances harmful in skin contact. The one buyers ask about most for sportswear, because the garment is worn against wet skin for hours. Certified per article, not per factory.
Quality management. Not a statement that the product is good, but that the factory runs a documented, repeatable system with corrective action when something goes wrong. ISO 14001 covers environmental management on the same model.
Material content claims. GRS and RCS verify recycled content through the chain of custody, GOTS organic cotton. You cannot honestly call a garment recycled without one, and buyers increasingly require the transaction certificate, not just the factory certificate.
Product certification rather than factory certification. EN ISO 20471 for high visibility clothing and EN ISO 11612 for flame resistance require the fabric, the tape and the finished garment to be tested and certified together. This is why our workwear range deliberately excludes hi vis and flame resistant garments.
No. We hold no third party certification at this time. Anything on this site that reads like a certification claim is a mistake and we would like to know about it.
For most B2B buyers, yes. Clubs, gyms, academies, independent brands and distributors order without a social audit in place. Where the buyer is a retail chain or a public body, the audit is usually a condition of the purchase order, and we will tell you that at enquiry rather than let you find out later.
We can source certified fabric where a buyer specifies and pays for it, and the mill's certificate travels with the material. That is a claim about the fabric, made by the mill. It is not a certification of this factory and we will not describe it as one.
Ask us at enquiry and you will get an honest answer about where we actually are rather than a timeline invented for a website.
The inspection process on our quality page, defect photographs before the carton is sealed, and a measured audit against the sample you approved. Buyers who want more are welcome to appoint a third party inspection company such as SGS, Intertek or Bureau Veritas at their own cost, and we will host them.
Tell us the garment, the quantity and the deadline. You get fabric options, a unit price and a lead time.
