Inspection

Why product inspection?
Independent pre-shipment inspection of goods helps identify potential product defects or inconsistencies in batch quality. It is a simple, highly effective way of safeguarding your company against costly import risks and expensive product recalls.
Inspections can be performed on-site before, during and after production.

1. BEFORE PRODUCTION / DURING PRODUCTION


• Initial Production Check:
  Visual check on the quality of components, materials and finished products at the beginning of the production process (when 10% of the goods have been produced).
• During Production Check:
  Visual check on the quality of components, materials and finished products during manufacturing (when 25-40% of the goods have been produced).
• Advantages:
  Corrective action for any non-conformities detected can be taken before completion of the whole consignment. This reduces the risk of production being jeopardized by a substandard supply of material and components.

2. AFTER PRODUCTION


• Final Random Inspection:
  A detailed visual inspection of samples selected at random to check that the quality, quantity and packaging conform to your samples and specifications. Final Random Inspection deals with the Quality Assessment of the finished goods that are packed and ready to be shipped (at least 80% is packed ready for dispatch). Final Random Inspection covers the quality (product appearance, performance, workmanship), quantity, packaging, labeling and shipping marks, e.g. Bar Code Check (to be readable for compliance), Transportation Drop Check
