Pre-vetted Indian production lines that meet global buyer standards—social, environmental, and product-safety—out of the box.
Pick from IndiaUnbox’s curated “Compliance-Ready” factories and lines when you need faster onboarding, clean documentation, and lower risk on first orders.

Who this helps

• Retail & D2C brands selling in US/EU/UK/CA/AU that must pass platform or retail gatekeeping (Amazon, Target, John Lewis, Lidl, etc.).
  
• HORECA/contract buyers with FR, food-contact, or durability requirements.
  
• Importers needing traceability and a restricted-substances regime (RSL/MRSL).
  

What you get

• Assured audit baseline: active BSCI/SEDEX/SMETA or ISO 9001, plus ISO 14001/45001 where relevant.
  
• Product-safety readiness by category: LFGB/FDA (food contact), REACH/Prop-65, CPSIA/EN71 (kids), azo/lead/cadmium, nickel release, OEKO-TEX where applicable.
  
• Materials chain-of-custody options: FSC (paper/wood), GOTS/OCS/BCI (textiles), recycled metals/glass declarations.
  
• RSL/MRSL control: signed compliance, approved chemical lists, SDS on file, plating/finish bath logs, dye/print SOPs.
  
• Documentation data-room: audit summaries, CAPA history, lab test templates, SOPs, calibration logs, staff training records.
  
• Pre-booked QA gates: PP meeting script, DUPRO slot at 20–60%, PSI at ≥80% packed (AQL default 2.5/4.0 or tighter).
  
• Sustainability options: water-based coatings, ETP/air-scrubber evidence, waste segregation, energy logs.
  
• Fast-track onboarding: ready dielines, barcode tests, ship-mark library, and sample compliance pack for retailers/marketplaces.
  

Line types (examples by cluster)

• Moradabad Metalware: food-contact capable plating lines (Ni/Cr/SS), water-based lacquer, LFGB heavy-metals pre-tests; nickel-release control; traceable brass lots.
  
• Jodhpur/Saharanpur Wood & Furniture: kiln-dried to 8–12% MC, FSC on request, low-VOC PU/water-borne finishes, BIFMA/EN performance options, FR fabrics where required.
  
• Panipat/Karur Textiles: OEKO-TEX or GOTS chains; azo-free dyes; colorfastness & seam strength labs; CPSIA tracking labels for kids.
  
• Bhadohi Rugs: no-child-labor declarations & loom registers, azo-free dyes, pile-shedding tests, moth-proofing SDS.
  
• Khurja Ceramics: lead/cadmium-safe glazes, LFGB migration pre-tests, kiln cycle logs; decal inks documentation.
  
• Firozabad Glass: annealing logs, heavy-metals screen, dishwasher cycle testing; safe edges and impact checks.
  
• Paper & Packaging hubs: FSC mix/recycled options, RoHS/REACH ink declarations, ECT/BCT verified cartons, ISTA transit test partners.
  

Readiness tiers

1. Baseline – Social/legal compliance + QMS (SMETA/ISO 9001), RSL sign-off, basic lab partners.
   
2. Enhanced – Baseline + ISO 14001/45001, sustainability measures, frequent third-party testing, retailer pack templates.
   
3. Premier – Enhanced + chain-of-custody (FSC/GOTS/OEKO-TEX), food-contact lab program, performance standards (BIFMA/EN/ASTM) mapped to SKU.
   

How it runs (4 steps)

1. Match & Map – We align your HS code, destination rules, and channel (Amazon/retail/HORECA) to a suitable line and compliance matrix.
   
2. Gap Check – If anything is missing (e.g., LFGB for a new glaze), we schedule pre-tests and update SOPs before PP.
   
3. Run & Record – Production under documented SOPs; in-process checks + DUPRO/PSI; lab tests per the matrix.
   
4. Handover Pack – Test reports, declarations (DoC/COC/COI), barcode scans, packaging specs, CAPA summary, traceability table.
   

Compliance matrix (typical inclusions)

• Social/Factory: SMETA 2- or 4-pillar / BSCI; licenses (GST/IEC), fire & safety.
  
• Quality: ISO 9001 QMS, incoming/in-process/outgoing SOPs, gauge calibration, training logs.
  
• Environment & OHS: ISO 14001/45001, ETP/air-emission records, chemical storage MSDS.
  
• Product Safety (pick per category):
  
  • Food contact: LFGB overall/specific migration; FDA 21 CFR citations; heavy metals.
    
  • Chemicals: REACH SVHC screening, azo, phthalates, lead/cadmium.
    
  • Kids: CPSIA/EN71 + tracking labels.
    
  • Furniture: stability/tip/load (BIFMA/EN), FR if mandated.
    
  • Textiles: colorfastness/wash rub, shrinkage, seam strength, OEKO-TEX/GOTS if used.
    
• Packaging: FSC CoC (if claimed), ISPM-15 pallets, ISTA 1A/2A/3A as needed, recycling marks.
  

KPIs we monitor

• OTIF (On-Time In-Full)
  
• FPY (First-Pass Yield at PSI)
  
• Defect rate (major/minor, rolling 3 lots)
  
• CAPA closure time
  
• Lab pass rate (first attempt)
  
• Document completeness at handover
  

Example deliverable set (per PO/SKU)

• Signed spec sheet & RSL
  
• Golden sample photos + seal ID
  
• PP minutes & control plan
  
• DUPRO & PSI reports with AQL tables
  
• Lab tests (per matrix) + DoC/COC
  
• Packaging proof set (dielines, barcodes scan logs, ECT/BCT)
  
• Traceability: lot/batch map, supplier declarations, tooling IDs
  

Timelines & MOQs (guidance)

• Using an existing Compliance-Ready line typically cuts onboarding by 1–3 weeks versus a fresh vendor.
  
• MOQs remain category-driven but pilot lots are often possible (with pre-booked labs/QA slots).
  

What this is not

• Not a certification body; we coordinate and evidence compliance, and arrange accredited labs and audits.
  
• Not a legal guarantee for every market—final responsibility for import admissibility rests with the importer. We minimize risk by matching the right line and right tests early.
