Product Description
Pre-Shipment Inspection is a step taken by buyers, suppliers, agencies, and other trade operators to ascertain the conformity of newly manufactured products before shipping for export or import. It is a systematic procedure for determining whether the manufactured goods for export or import meet the requirements in regards to the quantity, quality standards, specifications, and regulations. All pre-shipment inspections must adhere to internationally recognized ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) statistical sampling procedure. Comprehensive inspections are conducted before the products are shipped to clients focusing on functionality, performance, durability, appearance, dimension, and so on. During pre-shipment inspections, the inspectors use the AQL sample size selected randomly from all batches in the order.

They conduct the inspection on the basis of statistical sampling plan. If the goods conform to the stipulated quality, they issue the inspection certificate. The certificate also carries a validity period before which the export consignment must be shipped. In case of consignment wise inspection, actual export consignment, in packed condition, is taken for inspection.2. In process Quality Control, Certain commodities like paints and allied products, linoleum, ceramics, printing ink, sanitary wares etc. come under the purview of In process quality control. In case of continuous process industries, an option is given to them to become approved export worthy unit, as they possess the requisite infrastructure for manufacturing, processing products of standard quality. This status enables them to conduct inspection and give declaration and based on their declaration, they get inspection certificate.3. Self Certification, With the experience gained in operating the compulsory Quality Control and Pre Shipment Inspection Scheme in India, there has been a qualitative change in the inspection system also. Recently, a self certification system has been introduced. This is based on the concept that the manufacturing unit which has in built responsibility for quality control should have the freedom to certify its own product for export.
