     BSCI issued the following notice On December 19, 2016:
\
        Following an investigation initiated by the FTA secretariat, ABS Quality Evaluations’ operations in India and China will be suspended for 60 days. The result of investigation shows systemic issues on ABS’ quality and operation of BSCI audits in these respective countries. The suspension has been decided by the BSCI Sanction Council as a result of an unsatisfactory root cause analysis and associated corrective actions provided by the auditing company, which was requested following the investigation.
 
       The suspension will start from 2 of January 2017. ABS is now expected to review their resources and management system to ensure they can deliver the right level of audit services to its clients locally. Upon solid evidence of robust operations and quality oversight mechanism, the suspension is to be lifted.
