Abstract
Compliance of RMG factories is key requirement for most of the reputed global garments buyers. Actually compliance ensures all labor rights and facilities according to the buyer’s code of conduct. Now a days compliance is more important factor to achieve a garments export order than the product quality. The readymade garment RMG industry in Bangladesh has experienced an unprecedented growth .over the last three decades and become a fast growing industry in Bangladesh. This industry plays a vital role in the economy in terms of export earnings, employment generation, poverty alleviation and empowering the woman.
Despite the phenomenal success of the RMG sector, poor working conditions in the factories and the lack of social compliance are other serious concerns. Only a small number of RMG factories in Bangladesh are complaint out of more than five thousand different scale factories.
Because of the huge initial investment and running cost the factory owners are less interested to be a complaint factory owner. This paper presents a comparative study between international compliance and compliance in Bangladesh. This article also investigates lapses in establishing International Labour Standards and to what extent Social compliance can be incorporated into the RMG industry. It proposes an effective monitoring and surveillance system (EMSS) model which could be used to establish social compliance and to remove labour unrest

    The TBT exists to ensure that technical regulations, standards, testing, and certification procedures do not create unnecessary obstacles to trade. The agreement prohibits technical requirements created in order to limit trade, as opposed to technical requirements created for legitimate purposes such as consumer or environmental protection. The WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) seeks to protect the interests of: (i) Importers by allowing them to protect human, plant and animal health and life; consumers; environment; national security; and other policy interests by imposing technical regulations and standards on their imports. (ii) Exporters by assuring them that these standards, regulations and conformity assessment procedures do not impede trade. Now in Bangladesh, 2 million garment workers are working in the RMG units, of whom 80 per cent are women. RMG roughly covers 76 per cent of the total export of the country and is the highest earning industry in the economy. 2 million workers in 4,000 factories, which is about one-fourth of the number of employees engaged in the manufacturing sector, constitute the real backbone of the country's economy. Study shows that the RMG sector and related upstream and downstream activities are estimated to contribute an income of about $ 5.0 billion which is equivalent to about 9 per cent of Bangladesh's current GDP. Comparatively, over the same period Bangladesh's ne disbursement of aid was to the tune of only about $ 800 million. Thus, RMG sector's contribution to Bangladesh's balance of payments and foreign exchange reserves also cannot be understated. TBT is an agreement under WTO which is closely related to RMG sectors. As RMG contributes mostly to the country’s economy, any kind of nontariff barrier may affect it’s contribution if it is imposed by the deceptive way. So, TBT is good but sometimes it creates problem to the importing nation who imports products.…
