The self-assessment checklist explains the criteria which your company can use to self-assess how well it meets the criteria before the on-site assessment. Below are the guidelines on specific scenarios that you can refer to when filling up the checklist.There will only be one assessment for companies regardless of the number of schemes they are accorded or the number of premises they have. Thus, the self-assessment should be conducted for all the criteria listed in the self-assessment form and for all relevant sites in the company. The company should list down all these premises in the self-assessment checklist.
- Indicate “Yes” if the company meets the criteria for all sites.
- Indicate “No” if none of these premises meets the criteria or only some of the premises meet the criteria. Indicate the name of the site(s) which meet the criteria in the “Comments” column.
An “N.A.” indication should only be used when the criteria is not applicable such as when the company does not deal with certain goods, hence not requiring certain procedures. For instance, if the company does not handle strategic goods, the criteria 5.1.3 on training on strategic goods export control could be indicated “N.A.” Criteria that cannot have an “N.A.” indication would be blanked out, i.e. the company must indicate either a “Yes” or “No”.
(II) Outsourced Functions
If the company outsourced some of the functions to a third party, for example the transportation of the goods is carried out by another firm, the company should still conduct the self-assessment on these aspects as far as possible. The company should not indicate “N.A.” for these outsourced functions but rather, assess and indicate if business partners’ procedures meet a criterion based on service level agreements (SLAs) and contractual obligations.
(III) Company is a tenant

(IV) Companies with Global or Regional Offices
For companies with global or regional offices, the assessment will only be conducted for the company’s premise(s) in Singapore. Overseas offices will not be assessed. For example, for criteria 1.1.2 on the pre-employment verification, if the Singapore office’s has such a procedure, then a “Yes” should be indicated, regardless of the procedures of the other global or regional offices.
