On February 3rd, 2023 IOAS withdrew Extensive Standard Technical Services Co. Ltd. ‘s ISO/IEC 17065 and Textile Exchange accreditation and terminated their application for GOTS accreditation following ESTS’s failure to take the specified required actions and to resolve non-conformities. Following an unsuccessful appeal this decision was upheld and withdrawal now takes immediate effect.
Any operations, certification bodies and authorities that relied on this accreditation are asked to take note.
