Fitness Wholesale uses SMETA approved suppliers. SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is a compilation of best best practices in ethical audit, established by the Sedex Associate Auditor Group (AAG). It is not a separate standard or certification process, but a set of protocol for high-quality audits, to be used in conjunction with current established ethical audit practices. SMETA was designed to minimize duplication of effort and provide AAG members with an audit format they could easily share. SMETA reports are published by the Associate Auditor Group members in the SEDEX system, ensuring transparency and efficient information sharing.
A SMETA audit comprises the following modules:
Labour standards / Health and Safety / Management Systems / Entitlement to Work / Subcontracting and Homeworking / Environmental assessment.

Fitness Wholesale has fully conforming UKCA and CE declarations for all applicable products. A declaration of Conformity is an essential, legal document stating that products meet all of the requirements of the applicable UK and EU directives and regulations. Fitness wholesale has both UK and EU representatives for all applicable products.
A new conformity declaration mark, the UKCA (United Kingdom Conformity Assessed), is being phased in from 1st January 2021 to replace the CE mark in the UK. Furthermore, the UKCA mark will only apply in Great Britain. This means that CE marking will continue in Northern Ireland, as it aligns with the EU single market in terms of trading goods. Therefore, products for sale across the whole of the UK will require both UKCA and CE marking.
