    China Product Inspection Services

    Chinese manufacturing output today is higher than the output of any other country in the world. Many companies with international supply chains rely on at least some Chinese suppliers to produce their products.

    When working with manufacturers in China, establishing your own quality control processes, such as product inspections, is crucial. At Insight Quality Services, we serve as your quality inspection team on the ground to give you eyes at the factory.

    We conduct several types of product inspections in China to help you detect quality issues early. These help you avoid receiving poor-quality products that do not meet your quality standards.

    Types of China Inspection Services

    You can hire us to conduct inspections at various points during the production process — either before, during, or after production.

    • Pre-Shipment Inspection (Most Popular)
      Conducted once your order is 100% produced and at least 80% packaged. Verifies that products meet your quality standards before the manufacturer ships them overseas.
    • During Production Inspection
      Conducted once your order is at least 20% produced. Helps catch product defects early so you can avoid shipping delays.
    • Pre-Production Inspection
      Conducted before production starts to check raw materials or factory readiness.

    Additionally, you can conduct the following types of inspections:

    China Supplier Audits

    When sourcing in China, it is essential to choose the right factory — one that can actually do what they say they will. A supplier assessment helps you determine whether or not a manufacturer can meet your requirements. As such, it is a helpful tool for quality assurance.

    Supplier audits are also helpful for supplier quality management, and they allow you to get a higher-level view of how your Chinese factory is managing quality. This way, you can spot any problems at the process level before they turn into shipment-level issues.

    Types of China Factory Audits

    You can hire us to conduct several types of audits, depending on your needs as a company.

    • Capability Audits
      Determine whether a supplier has the capabilities to make your product and the capacity to deliver your orders on time.
    • Quality Audits
      Assess the manufacturer’s quality management system and QC department in accordance with ISO9001 standards.
    • Social Compliance Audits
      Ensure an ethical supply chain by verifying that working conditions are in compliance with all labor laws.
    • Security Audits
      Assess a supplier’s security practices to ensure compliance with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) C-TPAT program.
    • Environmental Audits
      Ensure an environmentally friendly supply chain by assessing a manufacturer’s environmental management practices.

    China Lab Testing

    When receiving goods from China, they must comply with all regulations in the country of importation. Otherwise, you may receive costly fines or have to recall your products.

    Laboratory testing lets you verify that your products do not contain hazardous substances and are made from your specified material. It can also help to test your products to specific performance standards.

    We can arrange lab testing for:

    • Furniture
    • Textiles
    • Electronics
    • Homewares
    • Juvenile Products
    • And More
