The purpose of the SA8000 standard is to protect the basic rights and interests of mankind. The elements of the SA8000 standard are drawn from the ILO's relevant conventions and other relevant norms prohibiting forced labor, freedom of association, global declarations of human rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of Children. The standard first gives the definition and core elements of an independent review of the organization and company, and confirms the basic principles of the audit judgment.
For example, "child labor" is one of the core elements of the standard. The principle of this element is as follows: "The company cannot or support the exploitation of child labor. The company should establish effective documented policies and procedures to promote the education of underage children. These children may be under-represented under the local compulsory education law or underage children who are out of school.
