The Labour Standards Assurance System
Assent’s LSAS solution simplifies compliance by continuously mapping and monitoring your supply chain, enabling you to achieve your supply chain sustainability goals.
LSAS Compliance
The UK National Health Service (NHS) developed LSAS to provide a mandate for labor standards in the medical supply industry. Compliance with LSAS requires deep knowledge of industry-specific best practices and regulations. Compliance with this strict regulation is essential to continue selling to the UK NHS.
The Risks of LSAS Non-Compliance
Manufacturers that fail to meet their LSAS requirements can face damage to their brand reputation or the loss of lucrative contracts. They may also be subject to product recalls and litigation.
To avoid these risks, manufacturers need transparency and cross-supply chain sustainability.
Understanding the Labour Standards Assurance System
Manufacturers that want to sell to the UK NHS must meet stringent criteria across four performance levels. This eBook explains how to get the deep supply chain visibility needed for LSAS compliance, the many benefits of compliance, and why ethical sourcing is important to brand integrity.
