Effective January 1, 2024, all organizations seeking certification, re<\/span>–<\/span>certification, or wishing to add\/update facilities to a valid scope certificate must register with Textile Exchange. Certification bodies will not be able to issue scope or transaction certificates without the <\/span>organization\u2019s<\/span> and corresponding site\/facility<\/span> TE-ID<\/span>\/s<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The registration process provides us with your organization’s facility names and addresses, allowing unique Textile Exchange IDs (TE-ID) to be assigned. It is also a way <\/span>for you <\/span>to provide contact information that we will use to keep you updated<\/span> on our standards<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A TE-ID is a unique identifier for a facility in Textile Exchange’s database. It is assigned to every facility and remains consistent even if certification bodies are changed. It does not indicate certification status, which is only confirmed by a valid scope certificate.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

All organizations seeking certification, re-certification, or wishing to add\/update facilities to a valid scope certificate must register with Textile Exchange.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each organization must register itself and all the facilities it covers under <\/span>a<\/span> certification scope. This applies even if your organization operates as a facility under a different scope certificate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your organization holds multiple scope certificates, you only need to register once and include all the associated facilities from across those certificates in a single registration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In the development of Trackit, Textile Exchange\u2019s central repository for certification data, it became clear that the existing identifiers were not conducive to supporting a large-scale and accurate system. The new TE-IDs, which were defined in consultation with internal and external stakeholders, will underpin all of our digital systems.<\/p>\n

This process allows Textile Exchange to consolidate an organization\u2019s certification information across certification bodies, preserve a site\u2019s certification history if a CB is transferred, enable the traceability of transaction certificates, and include a representative\u2019s contact to keep companies updated with our standard systems.<\/p>\n

Additionally, TE-ID will enable a more efficient and effective claims and labeling process and provide certified organizations access to their own certification data.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

If you are an organization seeking certification or recertification and have not registered before, follow the steps below, click Register your organization.<\/p>\n

Registration is a four-step process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Provide your organization’s name and contact and agree to the terms and conditions.<\/li>\n
  2. Find your organization in our database or provide your organization’s address.<\/li>\n
  3. Provide additional organizational details.<\/li>\n
  4. Register the facilities covered by your organization’s certification.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have already registered and are just looking to add or update facility on your existing scope certificate, click \u201cAdd or update facility.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Once you are done, the Textile Exchange team will review your submission. An email with your confirmation and a unique TE-ID will be sent within 14 calendar days. Your certification body will then be able to issue or update your scope certificate.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
