V. FACILITY DECLARATION AND AUTHORIZATION
工廠申報和授權
Full and accurate visibility to all Facilities is essential to the successful operation of the ILS Program. Therefore, before beginning Disney branded production, you must declare and receive written authorization from Disney for each Facility you intend to use in the production of Disney branded products. You must submit a Facility and Merchandise Authorization (“FAMA”) Application to Disney for each Facility you intend to use. If your Facility is in a country where Disney requires ILS Audits, you must also conduct a qualified ILS Audit and submit a qualified preproduction ILS Audit Report that demonstrates the Facility is in compliance with the MCS.
Following Disney’s review and approval of the FAMA Application and any required ILS Audit Reports, you will receive a signed FAMA. Only a signed FAMA demonstrates Disney’s authorization of the Facility. You may commence production in a Facilityonly after the receipt of the signed FAMA for that Facility. As used in this ILS Program Manual, the ‘production’ of Disney branded products includes the manufacture, processing, finishing, assembly, labeling, printing, and packaging of Disney branded products. You are sent monthly Licensee/Vendor Status Reports that include a list of Facilities in which you have indicated you are producing Disney branded products and a list of Facilities in which you have indicated you are no longer producing such products. Make sure you carefully review these Monthly Status Reports for accuracy.
FACILITY DECLARATION GUIDELINES
Facilities engaged in the production of Disney branded products and that must be declared to Disney include physical locations where:
