Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our goods inspection and factory auditing services.

To schedule an inspection or audit, please contact us with your requirements and we will provide you with a quote and schedule the inspection or audit at your convenience.

How do you ensure the impartiality of your inspectors?

We have strict policies in place to ensure the impartiality of our inspectors. Our inspectors are trained to conduct inspections objectively and without any bias. We also have a code of ethics that all inspectors must adhere to.

What is included in a factory audit?

A factory audit typically includes an assessment of the factory's capabilities, quality management system, social compliance, security, and environmental practices. The audit scope can be customized to meet your specific requirements.

What is the difference between a pre-shipment inspection and a during-production inspection?

A pre-shipment inspection is conducted when the production is complete and the goods are ready for shipment. A during-production inspection is conducted while the production is in progress to identify any issues early on and prevent defects from accumulating.

We can inspect a wide range of products, including textiles, garments, electronics, toys, furniture, and machinery. Our inspectors have expertise in various industries and can tailor the inspection process to your specific product requirements.
