Product Inspection Services Across Asia
Detailed product inspections at every production and logistics stage — verifying quality, specification conformity, and supply chain reliability for European and US retailers since 2003.
Five Inspection Stages
Catch Issues at the Right Moment in the Production Lifecycle
Each inspection point is engineered for a specific stage of the manufacturing and shipping process — applied independently or sequenced into a full quality assurance program tailored to your supply chain.
Before mass production
First Article Inspection
Comprehensive verification of the first production sample against design specifications, drawings, and customer requirements. Catches design and tooling issues before they propagate across the production run.
Deliverables
- ›Dimensional inspection report
- ›Material certificate validation
- ›Functional verification
- ›Approved or rejected first article
At component suppliers
Supply Source Inspection
On-site inspection of components and sub-assemblies at the supplier facility before they reach the assembly line. Identifies non-conforming materials at the source, reducing downstream rework and rejects.
Deliverables
- ›Component lot inspection
- ›Supplier capability review
- ›Non-conformance reports
- ›Corrective action follow-up
During production (DUPRO)
Inline Production Process Inspection
In-process audit while ~20–80% of the order is completed. Detects systemic process drift, workmanship issues, and quality trends early enough to course-correct without holding the entire shipment.
Deliverables
- ›Process capability check
- ›AQL sampling of WIP units
- ›Trend analysis
- ›Real-time corrective recommendations
When 100% complete
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Final quality verification on the finished order before container loading. AQL-based sampling against ISO 2859, customer-specific defect classifications, and packaging/labelling verification. The most common inspection point in global retail QC programs.
Deliverables
- ›AQL acceptance/rejection decision
- ›Defect classification report
- ›Photo documentation
- ›Packaging & barcode verification
At point of dispatch
Container Loading Inspection
Verification of the actual loading process — correct goods, correct quantity, container condition, seal application, and load distribution. Closes the chain-of-custody gap between factory floor and the customs declaration.
Deliverables
- ›Container condition check
- ›Loading photos & video
- ›Seal number verification
- ›Bill of lading reconciliation
