Our job is to realistically describe the quality and finish of your product. With our reports or telephone conversations, the customers will be able to control their production as if they are in the factory. All our reports include photographs and comments on quality criteria according to standards approved by the customer’s pre-production sample.
Let us be your eyes in China to provide you a plus of calm and confidence in your purchases. Through are following services:
FACTORY AUDIT REPORT (FAR):
In order to guarantee that your production is in good hands is important upon confirmation of your order, analyze and confirm that the supplier is able to fulfill our expectations of quality, production capacity and confidence. To do this we will move to the factory location, verify their address, meet their staff in charge of managing your possible order to establish a good relationship with them to make your order smoothly; productive staff, visit their administrative and production facilities. We will check their export license and certificates essential for each case.
After our visit to the manufacturer we will produce a detailed report with pictures about:
• The company and factory profile
• Permits and licenses
• Key customers & market
• Quality management
• Quality systems & certifications
• Materials management
• Equipment & machinery conditions
• Equipment and production capacity
• Workers
• Their production process
• Raw material storage
• Reach and development capability (R & D capability)
• Packaging
• Environment
• Safety and health
• Laboratory areas for quality control.
Please see your annex an example of our Factory Audit Report.
TEST & CERTIFICATES OF PRODUCTION SAMPLES:
According to the legislation of each country or client’s requirements, certain products require the analysis by recognized authorities and certificates. Our company can issue the certification under recognized companies as SGS, TUV or INTERTEK among others before, during or after production that your product requires. For example: ROHS, EN-71, Phthlato Free, materials analysis, and so on.
Our location in China will save you time and money for sampling testing ad certifications, as we can get the sample faster.
INITIAL PRODUCTION INSPECTION:
One of our new services is the Initial Production Inspection, in which we can guarantee that your order is 100% ready for production, and avoid quality-related surprises during or after production. During our inspection if we consider it or according to the customer requirements, we can take the samples of the materials for lab testing and quality assurance on materials.
We ensure that your specifications are understood by the factory and to identify any potential defects in the production chain resources, materials, schedules, management and more; before the production begins, so we can avoid remanufacturing products, delays and extra expanses.
DURING PRODUCTION INSPECTION (DPI):
Our inspection during the production process ensures that the finished units of your order correspond exactly to the approved sample before most of the mass production is made. We analyze your product, finishing, packaging, and testing of random sampling, that we will inform you in our report. This report is important because enables early detection of any possible error in production and take timely action. It is highly recommended in situations with deadline and when there is no margin of error in production.
This report will include an analysis of the production process checking, confirm the raw material and status, critical process control, production status, test function of random sampling, packing material and packing way confirm and final product description accompanied by comments and illustrative photographs. The average time for sending to you the report is 24 hours since the inspection.
Please see your annex an example of our During Production Inspection Report.
PRESHIPMENT CONTROL (PSR):
This inspection is crucial for minimizing risk of receiving a defective product or wrong, once it is in the port of destination and paid, will be virtually impossible to return the items.
Once more than a 80% of the production is completed and ready for shipment, we will inspected a sample of the product in accordance with Acceptable Quality Level (MIL STD 105E tables); the finishing functionality, packing and shipping marks, production control, audit certificates and factories, as well as the most delicate points of production.
Our report will detail the quality of the product, and the individual packaging of export and include commentary and pictures about it, the average time from inspection to shipping report is 24 hours.
Please see your annex an example of our Preshipment Report.
CONTAINER LOADING CHECK (CLC):
We guarantee that your shipped cargo from the port of origin is the product with your company’s exact ordered specifications. The Container Load Check is the final step in the manufacturing process. Our inspectors will onsite at factories, warehouse, loading place to check products status, container condition, quantity, packing way while loading, monitoring the whole loading process.
To check products are correct and actual ordered quantity are securely loaded into your container before signing off and settling final payment. So you can be assured there won’t be any mistakes related to wrong size of shipment, damaged packaging and goods, or various other potential oversights.
CUSTOMIZED INSPECTION REPORTS:
We can customize our reports according to our client’s request, for example we can include detail information of the factory in our Pre-shipment Report. We are flexible and willing to reach our customers’ needs and expectations.
ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LEVEL (AQL)
We use recognize international statistical sampling to determine whether to accept or reject a production or lot of materials. Sampling provides one rational verification of the customer’s required specifications, as a 100% inspection does not guarantee 100% compliance and is too time-consuming and costly.
For our inspections we use the MIL STD 105E tables, which are recognized standards by every industrial company. This American standard has now equivalents in all national and international standardization organizations. Basically, this standard is a proven method to accept or reject a production lot by inspecting a randomly selected lot of products.
Unless specified by the client, we will adopt the AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) as follows:
High valued products Low valued products
Critical defects Not allowed Not allowed
Major defects AQL 1.0/1.5 AQL 2.5
Minor defects AQL 2.5/4.0 AQL 4.0
The Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) designates value for defects; express a percentage by the particular sampling procedure and the level. Different AQLs may be designed for different defect classifications such as Critical, Major and Minor.
Defect Classification:
Defects detected during visual inspection are classified within 3 categories, “Critical”, “Major” and “Minor” and the normal definitions are:
1.Critical Defects: A defect that fails to meet mandatory regulations and/or affects the safety of the consumer when using the product.
2.Major Defects: A defect that is likely to result in product failure, reduction the usability of the product and obvious appearance defect affecting the salability of the product.
3.Minor Defects: A defect that is not likely to reduce the usability of the product, but is likely to reduce the salability or a discrepancy from the defined quality standard, or not same as the original sample.
We are looking forward for your comments and will be glad to speak with you and organize a future cooperation between our companies.
