An investigation was initiated by the Certification Body (CB) after it was found that Qingdao A&M Impex Co. could have used counterfeit input transaction certificates (TCs), which was subsequently confirmed through the issuing CB.
Despite repeated requests for clarification, the company failed to explain the origin of these TCs— whether they were self-fabricated or obtained through a supplier. The organization’s lack of cooperation raised serious concerns regarding its reliability and compliance to GOTS requirements. As a result, the CB concluded that the company poses a significant risk to the integrity of the GOTS system and has recommended a certification ban.
The Management deliberated the matter, issued a notice to the company which they failed to respond within the stipulated time. Consequently the management decided to constitute a certification ban for a minimum period of 2 years.
