Product inspection
Inspection can be conducted before, during or after the production process. An inspection provides maximum visibility around different aspects of the consumer goods production process for those buyers who are unable to visit the factories in person.
Our well-trained inspectors located in key production locations across the world carry out on-site consumer product inspections to allow you to cost-effectively get a clear picture of the production status, product quality and other key factors affecting the delivery of your purchasing orders for products such as:
- Garments and apparel
- Shoes and footwear
- Electrical and electronic
- Toys and childcare products
- Furniture and hardgoods
- Cosmetics and fragrances
On-site inspection efficiently delivers objective analysis and qualitative review of the product quality to buyers, removing the need as well as time and cost implications of travelling to carry out inspection by themselves.
Pre-production inspection
The pre-production inspection service, also called initial production inspection, takes place before production begins. By checking the incoming quantity, quality, styles, and other details of raw materials, as well as production equipment, it ensures your production starts in the right place.
During production inspection (DuPro)
DuPro ensures your production is taking place properly, and you will receive products that match the samples you have approved. During the inspection, we can also perform sample picking and on-site basic product testing. In addition, we offer Inline Inspection that provides extra assurance in relation to product quality.
Final random inspection (FRI)
FRI inspection is performed when 80% or more of the production is completed. This is a great opportunity to look into the quality, conformity, compliance and other attributes of the products before they go into shipping containers.
As a final round of inspection, we offer loading supervision, where our inspectors check the packing details and quantity of products against documentation at loading.
