Inspections, Audits and Supplier Support
Choose the check that fits your stage of production, from the first sample to the sealed container. Every report we issue carries a document number your partners can verify online.

Our inspectors check your goods at the factory against your specification, approved sample and packing instructions. Sample sizes follow ISO 2859-1 / ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 (AQL), unless you ask for a 100% check. Defects are graded critical, major or minor. Your report includes photos of every finding and a clear pass, fail or pending result.
First Article Inspection (FAI)
Before mass production starts, we measure and check the first parts off the line against your drawings and specification. If something is wrong, you find out while it is still cheap to fix.

During Production Inspection (DUPRO)
Once roughly 20–50% of the order is made, we check the goods already produced and watch the line in operation. Recurring defects are caught early, and there is still time to correct the rest of the order.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
When the order is at least 80% packed, we draw a random sample using AQL tables. We check it against your PO, approved sample, specification and labelling. Our report gives you the facts to approve shipment, request rework or hold payment.

Container Loading Check
We confirm the container is sound, clean and dry, count the cartons, spot-check contents and watch the loading. We record the seal number with photos, so you know exactly what left the factory.

Sorting & Rework Supervision
If an inspection fails, we can sort the full lot on site. Defective units are separated and the rework is supervised, so only conforming goods are shipped.

Welding Inspection
Qualified welding inspectors review procedures and welder qualifications, then inspect welds visually. Where required, they arrange NDT to the code and specification in your contract.

Coating Inspection
We check surface preparation, ambient conditions, film thickness and adhesion against the coating specification. This guards steel structures and equipment against early corrosion.

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
We attend the manufacturer's acceptance test on your behalf. We confirm the equipment runs to the agreed performance and safety requirements before it is crated and shipped.

Production Monitoring
Regular factory visits, or an inspector on site, give you progress against schedule and quality updates throughout the order. There are no surprises at shipment date.

Lab Testing Coordination
We select and seal samples at the factory and send them to an accredited third-party laboratory for the chemical, physical or safety tests your market requires. Then we follow up on the results with you.

Amazon FBA Inspection
On top of a standard inspection, we check FNSKU labels, carton labels, packaging, polybag warnings, and carton weights and sizes against Amazon's prep requirements. This helps avoid rejected or relabelled inbound shipments.

Garment & Textile Inspection
Measurement checks against your size chart, workmanship review, and fabric, colour and shade checks. We also verify trims, labels and packing for apparel, home textiles and accessories.

A good batch does not prove a good supplier. Our audits check whether a factory really exists as described, can make your product consistently, and treats its workers and the environment responsibly. You get a scored report with findings, photos and a corrective action list you can share with the supplier.
- Supplier verification (does it exist, is it who it says)
- Quality & capability audits
- Manufacturing process audits
- VDA 6.3 process audits & potential analysis
- PPAP review
- Social & ethical compliance audits
- Environmental compliance audits
- Health & safety (QHSE) audits
- Supply chain security (C-TPAT)
- Follow-up audits to close corrective actions
ISO & Industry Standard Audits
A certificate on the wall does not always mean the system works on the shop floor. We audit your suppliers' management systems, or your own as an internal or gap audit, against the standard you name. We report where practice and paperwork differ.
These are second-party and internal audits. They do not lead to certification, which only an accredited certification body can grant.
Supplier Development
When a supplier keeps missing quality or delivery targets, we go on site to find out why. We run root cause investigations (8D), agree a corrective action plan with the factory and verify that the fixes actually hold. Order expediting is available when deadlines are at risk.
