How it runs

Five steps

Checklist

Agreed before production: what is measured, what the acceptance criteria are, and what happens on a fail.

In-process check

Where the factory allows it, a check during production catches a problem while it is still fixable.

Pre-shipment inspection

Quantity, specification, marking, packing and a sample measurement against the approved sample.

Report

Photographs and measured values. Findings are stated plainly, including the ones that are not flattering.

Exception handling

Rework, concession or rejection, decided with you and documented before shipment leaves.

Who does what

What we inspectQuantity, specification, marking, packaging and dimensional checks on a sample.

What we do not doWe do not certify a factory's quality system, and we do not issue test certificates in our own name.

Who paysInspection is quoted per manday. On repeat orders it is often cheaper than the risk it removes.

Inspection reduces risk; it does not remove it. A sample-based check cannot prove every unit in a batch.

A drawing is the fastest way to a real price.

Send it with the quantity and the date you need it. We come back with a price, a lead time and any question the drawing raised.
