Quality Inspection Services
What is quality inspection?
Quality inspection, also called quality control (QC), is a procedure or set of procedures intended to ensure that a manufactured product or performed service adheres to a defined set of quality criteria or meets the requirements of the client or customer.
As the product quality is the competition key on the market, more and more importers and buyers, especially the international brands, request systematically the quality inspection for their orders in China.
Nowdays, in order to have a stable quality and reduce the defective rate during the mass production, most clients choose also the During-Production-Inspection (DPI), which is really the best solution to avoid the bad surprise just before the shipment.
Quality inspection procedure
In order to carry out an objective and efficient quality control operation, INSPECTION-CHINA has established an effective procedure which standardized the actions of each Inspector.
Before the quality control operation, we will send also the inspection standards to the supplier so that he could be aware of all the important points and try to reduce the defective products during the production.
