A product quality inspection is a procedure that involves checking the various attributes of a product and testing it to ensure that it meets pre, specified standards. The factories quality control team, a buyer, or a third, party inspection company like UQSR can conduct this inspection. Many experienced importers send an inspector to the factory to check their products before they ship. And here, we discuss how a product quality check works and what you need to know to conduct one. At UQSR, we conduct many of these inspections. Here is a brief summary of our process: Travel to the Facility and Pull Random Samples, We conduct these inspections at the facility that manufactures your goods. Therefore, your inspector first needs to travel to the factory, and then they pull a random sample of your products for inspection using a method called AQL sampling, which we explain below. Complete Checks From the Inspection Checklist, Once they have pulled the sample, they run through all the tests and checks on your inspection checklist. They check packaging and labelling, do a visual inspection, check physical requirements, and more. Complete and Send the Inspection Report, After going through the entire checklist, they put together an inspection report. You receive a copy of this report, which tells you whether the goods passed inspection and includes photos of your products and any relevant notes. Most commonly, importers conduct these inspections once the factory has finished production and before the products ship. But you can conduct an inspection before or during production as well. Most often, importers choose to inspect their goods once the factory finishes production. This way, they can verify the quality of the final goods before they are loaded and shipped overseas. However, there are actually three main types of product quality inspections. Pre, Production Inspections are conducted before production starts, and these inspections can help verify the quality of raw materials and factory readiness. During Production Inspections are conducted while production is still underway. These inspections can help you catch defects early and reduce delays. Pre Shipment Inspections are the most common type of inspection. These are conducted once your goods are 100 percent produced and at least 80 percent packaged. Each type of inspection has its benefits, and some of our customers conduct all three types at different times. Of course, pre shipment inspections are the most common, and some buyers use these exclusively. Once the inspector has finished their work, you will receive an inspection report. This report gives your shipment a Pass, Fail, or Hold result and lists all inspection findings. You will also see the result of each check they completed, with photos of each step to give you a clear understanding of your goods condition. It is crucial that you thoroughly review your inspection report, regardless of whether it passed or failed inspection. If there are any issues, you will need to work with your supplier to determine corrective actions.
