AN independent group, the Fair Labor Association, has started auditing Apple Inc's Chinese supplier Foxconn after a request by Apple.
Apple last month disclosed a list of its suppliers for the iPhone, iPad and other popular gadgets for the first time amid growing criticism over labor and environmental practices, especially in China.
The FLA is a group of companies and universities focused on improving labor practices. California-based Apple joined the group in January.
The FLA's first inspections started yesterday at Foxconn in Shenzhen. Apple said other major suppliers will also be inspected later in the spring.
