A factory will receive an ICTI CARE Seal of Compliance only if it can demonstrate that it is committed to compliance with the ICTI Code of Business Practices by establishing effective, verifiable, systems to satisfy the Code's provisions. This evaluation will be performed after a rigorous review by an independent third party monitor that has itself been accredited by the ICTI CARE Technical Advisory Board (TAB).

To forestall potential conflicts of interest among monitors, factories and brands, The ICTI CARE Process has installed several checks to minimize or eliminate the risks of conflicts of interest.

First, the process is overseen by the ICTI CARE Foundation, an organization whose Governance Board is charged with leading the ICTI CARE Process, approving guidelines and reviewing decisions, as needed.

Second, the ICTI CARE Foundation, on the advice of the Technical Advisory Board (TAB), will be charged with accrediting independent auditing firms to evaluate factory conditions and determine whether a facility should receive an ICTI CARE Process Seal of Compliance. One of the conditions of accreditation is that an auditing firm must not maintain any consulting relationship with the same factory that it will audit on social compliance issues.

Finally, the Governance Board of the ICTI CARE Foundation will have the authority to impose additional requirements on factories, monitors, and brands to address any conflicts, real or perceived, which may arise from the operation of the ICTI CARE Process.
