What is the purpose of a quality inspection?
Being a key element of quality control, Product Inspections allow you to verify product quality on site at different stages of the production process and prior to its dispatch. Inspecting your product before it leaves the manufacturer’s premises is an effective way of preventing quality problems and supply chain disruptions further down the line.
How many parameters and products can be inspected?
Let's divide the answer to 2:
A.We can inspect as many parameters as you like. There is always an option to tailor an inspection or add parameters as your choosing, but you need to know that the complexity and length of an inspection affects the price since it will take longer to perform.
B.The number of inspected products per day depends on the number and complexity of the desired inspection parameters. If you have only a few simple parameters we will be able to inspect more products per day.
What kind of checks can the quality inspector do?
Anything that can be done with the available equipment. A few examples follow below:
How do i get the report?
You can enter the link we send you, or, check your personal area on our website anytime to see the statistical analysis of the data, pictures and results.
You can see the results updating on real- time since our smart system updates the summary WHILE the inspector is checking the products.
What will I do with the report you provide me?
The report tells you all the statistical info about your product so it can help you decide if you approve or reject the order.
Keep in mind that you should set an accepted defect rate before you place the order. Otherwise it’s hard to say if the number of defects is ok or not.
How do I know if my supplier supports quality control?
During your first interactions with the supplier you should ask about sending inspectors to the factory for quality inspections by a third party.
You should never even a consider a supplier that doesn't fully accept the idea of someone coming to inspect products in his factory.
The suppliers that hesitate to accept a quality inspection probably have something to hide.
Should I let my supplier know in advance?
Yes, you should inform your supplier that you intend to send someone for product inspection as early as possible.
It’s crucial to make the supplier understand that you are a buyer with a serious quality assurance process in place and not one of those gullible buyers who bend backwards to accommodate the supplier.
By presenting a strong sense of what's going on quality-wise you will ensure that your supplier will take good care of your products and will not treat QC procedures lightly.
How do I book a service?
The best option is to go on our homepage/services page and fill out an order form-
this will ensure we know all there is to know about your needs. After we receive the order, we will contact you for further information.
How much time in advance should I book the service?
Generally speaking-The earlier the better.
If we know about an inspection in advance we can recommend our best practices according to your product and make sure your inspection questionnaire is tailored to your specific needs.
In case you have an urgent delivery- 2 days in advance is fine.
When should the products be inspected?
At a minimum, you should get the products inspected before the shipment and balance payment. However, you may also want to consider an on-site quality inspection during production.
A quality inspection that is being conducted during production can help you find early stage quality issues (i.e., incorrect colors or materials), and correct them while there’s still time.
If your order volume is big, we would recommend set-up/during production inspection AND pre -shipping inspection.
How do I know what kind of checks the inspector should do?
Keep in mind that you are the product expert here. You know your product best and especially if you already manufactured it- you know previous problems in samples that may repeat. Use your knowledge to establish the most important features of your product, and then look for the relevant required inspection/audit parameters on our order form.
If any problems or questions occur- we are here to help decide which parameters are the most important for your product, and which can be left behind.
How do I know that the inspector is qualified to check my products?
Our inspectors are taught and trained in our unique system so they know which quality problems are common for every type of material or product.
In addition our questionnaires are built with measurable questions, and our regional managers supervise the inspectors work through our innovative system to make sure every question is answered, in a proper way.
Should I do quality control on every order?
Yes, you should get every single order inspected.
Manufacturing process is complicated and consists of many stages, and even one faulty or damaged component can ruin the entire batch.
Given that one defective batch can ruin your reputation, you must always check quality before shipment.
Further, your supplier is much more likely to be tight on quality procedures if they know you are a hands on customer. If you start relaxing, so will they.
What happens if they find quality issues?
Most likely, you will find quality issues. If the inspector only finds a few minor quality issues, you can go ahead and approve the order.
If the issues are more severe, you should require your supplier to remake or repair the products (according to your Pre-determined agreement) – and then get the order inspected again.
Why can’t I let the supplier do the quality inspection?
Well, you should expect that they have some sort of quality management system in place, but you cannot expect that the supplier will be objective and give you an honest quality report – in case they would find quality issues.

- Drop tests
- Packaging
