Product Inspection Services — Your Eyes in China
Initial Production Check (IPC)
Our initial production check (IPC) inspects raw materials, components, and first-piece products at the production startup stage to ensure production conditions meet requirements, identify potential issues early, and avoid batch defects — a critical quality control gate before mass production begins.
- Raw material and component inspection
- Production equipment and process audit
- First article sample confirmation
During Production Inspection (DPI)
Our during production inspection (DPI) conducts random sampling when 20%-30% of production is complete, promptly identifying quality issues on the factory floor and guiding corrective actions before the full batch is finished — far more effective than post-production rework.
- AQL random sampling inspection
- Production process audit
- Issue feedback and improvement suggestions
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
Our pre-shipment inspection (PSI) conducts final random sampling after 100% production completion and packaging readiness — the most widely used inspection service to verify your entire export shipment meets client requirements and contract specifications before it leaves China.
- Appearance and workmanship quality check
- Function and safety performance testing
- Packaging and labeling inspection
- Issue detailed inspection report
Full Inspection (100% Inspection)
100% piece-by-piece inspection of the entire batch, suitable for high-value products, precision instruments, or high-risk orders with specific client requirements. Catch defects during pre-shipment inspection before they impact your brand reputation.
Container Loading Supervision (CLS)
Our container loading supervision (CLS) stations an inspector on-site during the entire loading process to verify product quantity, packaging method, loading sequence, and container condition — preventing misloading, cargo damage, and costly shipping disputes.
- Container condition check (clean, dry, undamaged)
- Cargo quantity and specification verification
- Loading process supervision and documentation
- Container sealing and seal number recording

We strictly conduct our product inspections in China based on the international AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) standard, specifically utilizing the ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 (or ISO 2859-1) sampling plans. By default, we apply General Inspection Level II with standard sampling tables to determine the exact sample size for your lot. This ensures that the inspection results are statistically valid, mathematically sound, and fully recognized by global retail chains and compliance auditors.
We follow standard international QA protocols to classify findings into three distinct levels:
- Critical Defects: Issues that fail safety regulations or present potential hazards to the end-user (e.g., sharp metal edges, exposed wiring).
- Major Defects: Deficiencies that reduce the usability or salability of the product (e.g., structural cracks, severe color bleeding, misaligned components).
- Minor Defects: Workmanship imperfections that do not affect function or safety but deviate from the specifications (e.g., minor flashes on handles, loose threads).
We provide on-site inspection coverage across all major manufacturing hubs in China. Our technicians regularly visit factories in Guangdong (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan), Zhejiang (Ningbo, Yiwu, Hangzhou), Fujian (Xiamen, Fuzhou), Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces. No matter where your supplier is located, we can deploy a local inspector to the factory floor promptly. We also serve Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, with inspection teams available across Asia.
Integrity is our absolute bottom line. As professional engineers, we enforce a strict Zero-Tolerance Anti-Bribery and Code of Ethics Policy. Every technician signs a binding integrity agreement before stepping onto a factory floor. We perform independent, impartial cross-checks on all inspection reports, ensuring that what you see in the report is 100% representative of the actual cargo.
