]]> Both brands and supply chain members are audited against the same basic principals of the CCS. How this is applied on-site will vary depending on the business model of each business.

Please note that the CCS3.0 has included various measures to make brand certification more attainable like remote audit potential, no on-site DC audits, and no TC required for outgoing orders to retailers.

]]> This depends on whether or not you would like to make any product-specific claims (labeling, product webpage, etc.) about your use of a standard. Furthermore, it will depend on whether or not your brand sells products through a retailer. Textile Exchange requires all sites up through to the seller in the final business-to-business transaction to become certified in order to make a product-specific claim.
