Compliance & Ethical Sourcing

    Certifications & Ethical Manufacturing

    This page is maintained by Irha Apparels to give B2B buyers a clear, honest view of where each certification stands. We use the word "Compliant" when our processes meet the standard, and "In Progress" when an audit is scheduled but not yet completed.

    Our Commitment

    Ethical production, built into the factory floor.

    Irha Apparels is a direct-factory B2B apparel manufacturer based in Sialkot, Pakistan. We run a single owned facility — no sub-contracting, no hidden tiers — so every order is cut, sewn, embroidered and finished under one roof by employees we know by name.

    Our workers are paid above the regional minimum wage, work documented shifts with overtime tracked, and have access to clean drinking water, ventilated workshops, first-aid stations and prayer space. We do not employ anyone under 18 and verify age at hiring.

    On the materials side we default to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 fabrics and REACH-compliant dyes for European customers, and we can upgrade any program to GOTS organic cotton or buyer-nominated mills on request. Our quality system follows ISO 9001:2015 principles and is currently being prepared for BSCI and WRAP audits in Q3 2026.

    Buyer FAQ

    Common compliance questions

    Do you provide certificates with shipment?+

    Yes. OEKO-TEX® mill certificates, SEDEX audit summaries and ISO documentation can be attached to each shipment on request. Specify your requirement at PO stage and we include the documents with your commercial invoice and packing list.

    Can you produce against client-nominated audits?+

    Yes. We accept buyer-nominated third-party audits (BSCI, SMETA, Higg FEM, custom code-of-conduct). Coordinate the audit window during the PO confirmation stage.

    What does "In Progress" mean?+

    We are actively preparing the facility and documentation for the named certification. We do not market in-progress certifications as completed and will update this page the moment the audit is signed off.
