Why Independent Quality Inspection Matters
Factory QC teams have an inherent conflict of interest: they're paid by the factory, not by you. Independent inspection gives you an unbiased assessment of product quality before you commit payment or accept a shipment.
We dispatch experienced inspectors to your factory location. They follow international sampling standards (AQL 2.5 or your custom protocol), document findings with photos and measurements, and deliver a pass/fail report within 24-48 hours.
This creates accountability: factories know their work will be independently verified, which improves compliance with your specifications.
Risk Reduction
Catch defects before shipment. Avoid chargebacks, returns, and reputation damage.
Leverage in Negotiation
Inspection reports give you objective evidence to negotiate repairs or price adjustments.
Data for Improvement
Track defect trends across batches and factories to improve your supply chain.
Four Types of Quality Inspection
Each inspection type serves a different checkpoint in your production timeline. Most clients use a combination: IPC to catch issues early, and PSI to verify final quality.
DUPRO — During Production
When: 40-60% of production completed
Monitor production line, check in-process quality, and confirm timelines. Identify problems before they compound.
PSI — Pre-Shipment Inspection
When: 100% finished, 80% packed
Random sampling (AQL standard) of finished goods. Final quality gate before shipment authorization.
Inspection Standards & Protocols
We follow internationally recognized sampling and acceptance standards, or adapt to your custom quality requirements.
AQL Sampling (ANSI/ASQ Z1.4)
Industry-standard random sampling method. Typical levels: AQL 2.5 (critical), AQL 4.0 (major), AQL 6.5 (minor defects).
ISO 2859 Protocols
Statistical quality control standards for lot-by-lot acceptance inspection.
Custom Checklists
Your specific requirements, measurement tolerances, and acceptance criteria integrated into inspection protocol.
Retail Standards
Target, Walmart, Amazon, and other major retailer quality requirements for packaging, labeling, and compliance.
Fabric & Material Testing
Independent lab testing confirms that materials meet your specifications and target market compliance requirements (EU/US/UK and retailer standards). We work with accredited labs and provide clear, actionable results.
What We Test
Fiber composition, colorfastness, shrinkage, pilling, tensile strength, seam slippage, dimensional stability, and other performance indicators based on product type.
Chemical & Regulatory
REACH / SVHC screening, azo dyes, formaldehyde, heavy metals, phthalates where applicable, and market-specific restrictions for textiles and accessories.
Sampling & Lab Workflow
Sampling can be arranged during inspection (factory pickup) or shipped by the client. We confirm test scope, lead time, and reporting format before submission.
Deliverables
Official lab reports (PDF), pass/fail against stated requirements, and a concise summary highlighting risk items, non-conformities, and recommended corrective actions.
Factory Audit
A factory audit helps you verify supplier capability and reduce onboarding risk before placing large orders. We assess legal status, capacity, quality systems, and ethical/compliance readiness.
Business Verification
Company registration, business scope, ownership indicators, facility existence, and basic operational legitimacy.
Production Capability
Capacity assessment, machinery and key processes, staffing, subcontracting risks, and ability to meet your technical requirements and lead times.
Quality Management
Incoming material control, in-line QC, final QC, calibration, traceability, and how non-conformities are handled (CAPA approach).
Compliance & Social
Basic EHS checks, documentation readiness, and alignment with buyer codes of conduct (where applicable). Findings are summarized with practical recommendations.
Audit Output
You receive a structured report with photo evidence, risk grading, key findings, and a clear recommendation: Proceed / Proceed with Conditions / Not Recommended.
