Fabric Inspection
Fabric inspection ensures that the raw materials used in garment production are of high quality and durable.
Pre-Production Inspection
The first and most important step in the manufacturing process is pre-production inspection (PPI) or initial production check (IPC). The raw materials and machinery used in production are evaluated to ensure consistent quality standards throughout production.
First Article Inspection
When the factory starts the production line for the first time, a random sample from the first lot is chosen and checked against all engineering and production specifications to ensure the item’s quality. First Article Inspection refers to the initial examination of an item from the initial production run.
During Production Inspection
A During Production Inspection is performed when approximately 20-70% of the manufacturing process is completed. A During Production Inspection is a quality control mechanism used to ensure that the supply chain is not faulty and that manufacturing ethics adhere to the importer’s specifications.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Pre-Shipment Inspection service is a quality control step that ensures the quality and consistency of newly manufactured products before they are imported. The products are inspected for flaws and compliance with safety standards.
Loading and Unloading Supervision
Container loading supervision/inspection takes place at the manufacturing site or factory. The inspection occurs just before the containers are ready for dispatch and is performed against a variety of criteria.
Used Car Inspection
Used Car Inspection is carried out on pre-owned vehicles, providing detailed assessments to aid informed purchasing decisions.
