Build a factory social-compliance system that demonstrates safe, lawful, humane and ethical production practices and prepares your facility for independent WRAP certification. Qdot provides WRAP Consultancy in Saudi Arabia for eligible production facilities that need practical implementation support against Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) requirements and the WRAP 12 Principles.
Our support is particularly relevant to apparel, garments, uniforms, workwear, textiles, footwear, leather goods, home textiles, sewn products and related manufacturing facilities supplying international buyers, brands, retailers, distributors or group companies with responsible-sourcing expectations.
Facilities searching for WRAP Certification in Saudi Arabia can use Qdot as the implementation and audit-readiness partner. Qdot does not issue WRAP certificates and does not perform the official certification audit. WRAP certification audits are conducted by WRAP-accredited third-party monitoring firms, and the certification decision is made by WRAP after review of the audit and any required corrective actions.
Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) operates an independent social-compliance certification programme focused mainly on sewn products, apparel, footwear and related industries. The programme is built around 12 Principles covering legal compliance, forced and child labour, harassment and abuse, compensation, working hours, discrimination, health and safety, freedom of association, environment, customs compliance and security.
WRAP certification is facility-specific. Individual production units can seek certification, while holding companies, brands and retailers are not themselves eligible for a WRAP facility certificate. This distinction is important when defining the project scope, website wording and customer expectations.
Qdot translates WRAP expectations into operational factory controls. Our approach focuses on how employment practices, payroll, time records, worker communication, health and safety, environmental controls, production records, customs controls and facility security actually operate across all shifts, rather than preparing documents only for the audit date.

Speak with Qdot about facility eligibility, the WRAP 12 Principles, social-compliance gaps, PASA preparation, corrective actions and independent certification readiness.
WRAP Certification in Saudi Arabia - Current Certification Position
WRAP Certification in Saudi Arabia is available to eligible individual production facilities that successfully complete the WRAP certification process. The facility applies to WRAP, selects a WRAP-accredited monitoring firm, completes the required pre-audit self-assessment, undergoes an independent audit and closes any identified non-compliances before the certification decision is finalized by WRAP.
WRAP certifications are now issued on an annual basis. Effective March 1, 2026, WRAP stopped issuing new two-year Platinum certificates and removed the former Gold/Platinum certification-level structure. Facilities that pass the programme receive an annual Certification of Compliance. Existing Platinum certificates issued before the change remain valid through their stated expiration dates.
All WRAP-certified facilities remain subject to the programme rules during the certificate period, including possible random unannounced post-certification assessments. Certification therefore depends on sustained compliance, not only performance on the announced certification audit.
Who Can Seek WRAP Certification?
WRAP states that certification can only be granted to individual production units and that its programme is mainly focused on sewn products, apparel, footwear and related industries. This makes the certification especially relevant to Saudi facilities producing goods for international brand, retail, uniform, hospitality, healthcare, industrial and export supply chains.
- Garment and apparel factories.
- Uniform, schoolwear, corporate wear and hospitality garment production.
- Industrial workwear and sewn personal protective equipment production where the facility is eligible.
- Footwear production facilities.
- Leather goods and sewn accessory production.
- Home-textile and other sewn-product factories.
- Textile cut-and-sew, embroidery, garment printing and related production units where within WRAP programme scope.
- Private-label and contract manufacturers supplying international buyers.
- Export-oriented factories that need recognized social-compliance assurance.
- Individual production units within larger Saudi or multinational groups.
Brands, retailers and holding companies can use WRAP-certified facilities in their supply chains, but they cannot obtain a WRAP facility certificate for the brand or corporate entity itself unless they operate an eligible individual production unit that enters the programme.
WRAP 12 Principles
Compliance with Laws and Workplace Regulations
Facilities should comply with applicable local and national laws, workplace regulations, relevant industry requirements and applicable legal obligations affecting the business and workforce.
Prohibition of Forced Labor
Employment must be voluntary. Controls should prevent forced, bonded, indentured, prison or trafficked labour, worker-paid coercive debt arrangements and improper restriction of worker movement or documents.
Prohibition of Child Labor
Facilities must prevent child labour and comply with applicable minimum-age and compulsory-schooling requirements, including appropriate safeguards for legally employed young workers.
Prohibition of Harassment and Abuse
Workers should be treated with dignity and protected against corporal punishment, physical or verbal abuse, bullying, sexual harassment and other abusive conduct.
Compensation and Benefits
Facilities must provide compensation and legally required wages, allowances, overtime premiums and benefits accurately and on time, supported by reliable payroll records.
Hours of Work
Working hours, overtime, rest periods and days off should be controlled against applicable legal limits and WRAP programme expectations, with transparent and accurate time records.
Prohibition of Discrimination
Recruitment, pay, promotion, work assignment and termination should be based on legitimate job-related factors rather than discriminatory personal characteristics or beliefs.
Health and Safety
Facilities should maintain safe, clean and healthy workplaces, provide appropriate training and emergency arrangements, and control occupational hazards and welfare conditions.
Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining
Facilities should recognize lawful worker rights concerning association, representation and collective bargaining and maintain effective grievance mechanisms.
Environment
Facilities should comply with applicable environmental laws and maintain responsible practices for waste, pollution prevention and environmental management.
Customs Compliance
Facilities should comply with applicable customs laws, maintain accurate records and prevent illegal transshipment or inaccurate origin/production representations.
Security
Facilities should maintain appropriate corporate, transport, personnel and physical security procedures, including safeguards against non-manifested cargo; WRAP benchmarks this principle against CTPAT foreign-manufacturer security criteria.
Why WRAP Certification Matters for Saudi Production Facilities
- Demonstrates an independently reviewed social-compliance framework to buyers and sourcing partners.
- Supports access to customers that recognize or request WRAP-certified production facilities.
- Creates disciplined controls for recruitment, wages, working hours, worker treatment and workplace safety.
- Improves factory readiness for social audits and responsible-sourcing due diligence.
- Helps reduce recurring non-compliances through internal monitoring and corrective action.
- Strengthens evidence for buyer questionnaires, sourcing reviews and supplier onboarding.
- Integrates environmental, customs and physical-security controls with labour and workplace compliance.
- Supports continuous factory compliance because certified facilities may be subject to unannounced post-certification assessments.
Qdot 12-Step WRAP Consultancy Methodology
Step 1 - Facility Eligibility and Scope Review Qdot confirms the individual production-unit scope, products, worker population, shifts, buildings, subcontracted activities, labour providers, customer expectations and whether the facility is suitable for the WRAP certification programme.
Step 2 - WRAP 12 Principles Gap Assessment We conduct a structured review against the WRAP 12 Principles and applicable programme expectations, examining policies, practices, records, worker conditions, production areas, welfare facilities, environmental controls, customs processes and security arrangements.
Step 3 - Legal and Regulatory Compliance Register The facility establishes a controlled process for identifying and reviewing applicable Saudi labour, occupational health and safety, environmental, customs, immigration/employment and other legal requirements relevant to its operations and workforce.
Step 4 - HR, Recruitment and Worker-Practice Controls Qdot strengthens recruitment, age verification, employment contracts, document handling, disciplinary processes, anti-harassment measures, non-discrimination, grievance handling and worker communication.
Step 5 - Payroll, Compensation and Benefits Controls We review wage structures, payroll calculations, overtime premiums, allowances, benefits, deductions, payslips and supporting records so compensation practices are accurate, transparent and auditable.
Step 6 - Working-Hours and Attendance Controls Qdot helps establish reliable timekeeping, shift scheduling, overtime authorization, rest-day controls, exception monitoring and management review of working-hours performance.
Step 7 - Health, Safety and Worker Welfare We assess fire and life safety, emergency preparedness, machinery and electrical hazards, chemical handling, PPE, first aid, sanitation, drinking water, welfare provisions, training and worker awareness. Existing ISO 45001 controls can be integrated where useful.
Step 8 - Environmental Compliance and Waste Controls The facility establishes evidence for environmental permits and obligations where applicable, waste handling, chemical and hazardous-material controls, pollution prevention, housekeeping and environmental monitoring relevant to production.
Step 9 - Customs, Production Records and Traceability Qdot reviews material and order records, production evidence, labelling/origin controls and documentation needed to demonstrate lawful customs practices and reduce risk of illegal transshipment.
Step 10 - Physical, Personnel and Cargo Security We assess access control, visitor management, employee identification, perimeter security, shipping/receiving, container or cargo integrity, seal controls where applicable, incident response and safeguards against non-manifested cargo.
Step 11 - Internal Audit, Worker Feedback and Corrective Action Qdot conducts or supports internal audit, document review, facility walkthroughs and appropriate worker feedback to identify remaining gaps. Findings are assigned root causes, responsibilities, due dates and verification evidence.
Step 12 - PASA and Certification-Audit Readiness We help the facility prepare its Pre-Audit Self-Assessment, organize evidence, conduct a mock audit/readiness review, close critical gaps and prepare management and responsible teams for the independent WRAP monitoring-firm audit.
Pre-Audit Self-Assessment (PASA) Preparation
The WRAP certification process includes a Pre-Audit Self-Assessment. Qdot can help the facility use this stage as a genuine management review rather than a form-filling exercise. The goal is to identify issues before the independent audit and ensure that answers are supported by real records and practices.
- Confirm facility profile, worker count, shifts, buildings and production activities.
- Review each WRAP Principle against current factory practice.
- Identify missing legal, payroll, timekeeping, HR, HSE, environmental, customs and security evidence.
- Check consistency between policies, records and worker experience.
- Assign corrective actions with owners and due dates.
- Prepare evidence folders without creating artificial or backdated records.
- Conduct management and responsible-person briefing before audit.
Worker Practices, Recruitment and Grievance Controls
WRAP audits examine how employment practices function in reality. Qdot can help create controls that are consistent across recruitment, onboarding, everyday supervision and termination, with particular attention to migrant and contract workers where relevant.
- Age and identity verification.
- Voluntary employment and prohibition of forced labour.
- Controls over recruitment fees and coercive debt arrangements.
- Proper handling of passports, identity documents and personal property.
- Employment terms and worker communication in understandable formats where practicable.
- Anti-harassment, anti-abuse and disciplinary safeguards.
- Non-discrimination in recruitment, pay, promotion and termination.
- Accessible grievance channels and non-retaliation protections.
Working Hours, Payroll and Compensation Controls
Working-time and payroll records are frequent areas of social-compliance risk. Qdot can help factories establish reliable systems that align scheduling, attendance, production planning and payroll evidence rather than maintaining separate records that conflict during an audit.
- Accurate electronic or controlled manual timekeeping.
- Shift and overtime planning based on legal and programme requirements.
- Rest days, breaks and leave controls.
- Overtime authorization and monitoring.
- Payroll reconciliation to attendance records.
- Correct wage, overtime, allowance and benefit calculations.
- Controls over lawful deductions.
- Management review of excessive hours, recurring overtime and payroll exceptions.
Health, Safety, Fire and Emergency Preparedness
WRAP Principle 8 requires safe and healthy working conditions. For garment, textile, footwear and related facilities, Qdot can focus on high-risk areas such as fire safety, blocked exits, electrical safety, machinery guarding, chemical storage, housekeeping, ventilation, ergonomics and worker training.
- Fire exits, evacuation routes, alarms, extinguishers and emergency lighting.
- Emergency drills and worker awareness.
- Machine guarding and safe operating procedures.
- Electrical safety and preventive maintenance.
- Chemical inventory, labels, safety data and storage controls.
- PPE selection, issue and use.
- First-aid and medical-response arrangements.
- Toilets, potable water, cleanliness and worker welfare facilities.
- Hazard identification, incident investigation and corrective action.
Environment, Customs and Security Controls
WRAP goes beyond labour conditions. Principles 10, 11 and 12 require facilities to manage environmental compliance, customs integrity and security. These areas are particularly relevant to export-oriented factories and facilities supplying international customers.
- Environmental legal and permit review where applicable.
- Waste segregation, storage and authorized disposal.
- Chemical and hazardous-material management.
- Production and material records supporting customs integrity.
- Country-of-origin and product-labelling controls where applicable.
- Controls against illegal transshipment.
- Facility access, visitor and personnel identification.
- Shipping and receiving security.
- Cargo/container integrity and seal controls where applicable.
- Incident escalation and investigation.
WRAP Certification Process - How Qdot Supports the Facility
The exact programme steps and forms should always be checked on the current WRAP website, but the typical certification route includes the following stages:
- Facility application/registration with WRAP and selection of an accredited monitoring firm.
- Completion of the Pre-Audit Self-Assessment.
- Independent on-site audit by the selected WRAP-accredited monitoring firm.
- Corrective action and verification where non-compliances are identified.
- Review of the audit report by WRAP and its independent review process.
- Issuance of an annual WRAP Certification of Compliance when the facility is approved.
- Continued compliance during the certificate period, including readiness for possible unannounced post-certification assessment.
- Annual renewal process with a new audit.
Qdot supports implementation and readiness before and between these stages. Qdot does not replace the monitoring firm and does not control the independent certification decision.
WRAP Internal Audit and Mock Audit Support
A mock audit is most useful when it simulates the evidence and operational conditions an independent social-compliance auditor is likely to test. Qdot can perform a structured readiness review covering records, interviews, production areas and management controls while preserving the independence of the later certification audit.
- Document and record review.
- Payroll and working-hours sampling.
- Facility walkthrough and HSE observations.
- Worker-practice and grievance-mechanism review.
- Environmental, customs and security evidence checks.
- Management and responsible-person interviews.
- Corrective-action plan with priority levels.
- Final closeout review before the independent audit.

The implementation timeline depends on facility size, number of workers and shifts, maturity of HR and HSE systems, payroll and timekeeping quality, worker-practice risks, environmental and security gaps, availability of permits and records, and the amount of corrective action required. A facility with strong existing controls may prepare within several weeks, while a factory with major working-hours, payroll, fire-safety or documentation gaps may require a phased project over several months. Certification timing also depends on monitoring-firm availability and closure of audit findings.
WRAP Consultancy and Certification Cost in Saudi Arabia
There is no single fixed price for WRAP Consultancy or WRAP Certification in Saudi Arabia. Qdot consultancy cost depends on facility size, workforce, shifts, buildings, products, current compliance maturity, required site visits, languages, training, mock-audit scope and corrective-action support. WRAP registration charges and the independent monitoring-firm audit cost are separate from consultancy and should be confirmed directly through the WRAP programme and selected monitoring firm. A scope review is recommended before budgeting.
