Our Inspection & Audit Capabilities

Tailored quality control solutions deployed across China factories, from initial vendor evaluation to final container loading dock.

Factory & Vendor
Capability Audits

Evaluate manufacturing facilities, operational setups, legal licenses, and production capacity before issuing purchase orders or deposits.

Pre-Production Inspection (PPI)

Verify raw materials, key components, and factory preparation before mass production begins to ensure compliance with product specs.

During Production
(DUPRO) Checks

Inspect the first completed batch off the line to catch manufacturing defects early while production is actively running.

Pre-Shipment Inspection
(PSI)

Performed on 100% finished goods (and at least 80% packed) using AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) sampling to verify final product quality.

Quantity & Packaging
Verification

Audit total carton counts, export packaging durability, barcodes, and shipping marks to prevent customs delays and logistics damage.

Container Loading Supervision
(CLS)

Performed on-site at the dock while cargo is loaded into containers to verify handling, sealing, and final counts.
