      Every inspection is tailored to your product and specifications. Here’s what we typically evaluate: ✔️ Production & Quality Plan Verification • Ensure production follows the agreed quality standards and schedule. ✔️ Storage Conditions • Inspect raw materials, components, and finished goods storage to ensure proper handling. ✔️ Packaging & Label Checks • Review packaging materials, labeling accuracy, and barcode verification to prevent shipping errors. ✔️ Semi-Finished Product Checks • Evaluate products mid-production to spot recurring issues or process defects. ✔️ Appearance & Workmanship • Perform AQL-based random sampling to check for cosmetic defects and build quality. ✔️ Function, Size & Measurement • Test selected units for correct functionality, dimensions, and conformance to specifications. ✔️ Safety & Reliability Testing • Conduct basic in-process safety and reliability tests to ensure performance. ✔️ Your Custom Requirements • We’ll include any special checks or instructions you provide. Sampling is performed using AQL standards (ANSI/ASQC Z1.4-2003 / ISO 2859-1) unless otherwise specified.
