I. Service Content

(1) Inspection Services

Initial Production Control (IPC): Conducted when 5%-10% of the batch production is completed. This stage primarily inspects the quality of raw materials and components, as well as verifies whether production processes meet requirements. It ensures product quality control from the source, preventing large-scale rework caused by early-stage issues.

Mid-Production Inspection (DPI): Conducted when 30%-50% of production is complete, this involves sampling and inspecting semi-finished and finished goods. It aims to promptly identify flaws and deviations in the production process, optimize workflows, ensure product compliance and specification adherence, strengthen supplier management, and guarantee timely order fulfillment.

Final Production Inspection (FRI): Conducted when 100% of goods are completed and at least 80% are packed, this is the most effective method for confirming the quality level of the entire shipment. We perform AQL sampling on products according to the ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) standard and generate a detailed inspection report.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): After products are manufactured and packaged, a systematic quality inspection is conducted prior to formal delivery or shipment. This ensures products comply with customer order specifications, regulatory standards, and trade terms, thereby preventing returns, claims, or logistics delays caused by quality issues.

Sampling Inspection: Conduct random sampling according to international sampling standards. By examining the results of sample inspections, infer whether the entire batch of products meets quality standards, enabling efficient and representative evaluation of product quality.

Container Supervision: Following sampling inspections prior to final product shipment, this service assists in confirming the cleanliness and packing conditions of containers at factory sites, warehouses, or during container transfer. It ensures goods are loaded correctly, safely, and compliantly into containers, safeguarding cargo security during transit.

(2) Factory Audit Services

Supplier On-Site Audit: Conduct an on-site inspection of the supplier's factory to assess its production facilities, equipment condition, production capacity, staffing levels, and other operational realities, evaluating whether it possesses the capability to fulfill order requirements.

Social Responsibility Audit: Evaluates suppliers' compliance with social responsibilities including labor rights, working conditions, and occupational health and safety. This ensures their operations adhere to ethical and legal standards, thereby mitigating reputational risks to the company arising from supplier misconduct.

Quality Audit: Evaluate the supplier's quality management system, including quality control processes, inspection standards, and quality records, to determine whether they can consistently produce products that meet quality requirements.

Environmental Management Audit: Focuses on suppliers' environmental protection measures and outcomes, such as waste disposal, energy consumption, and pollution prevention, aligning with environmental trends and fulfilling corporate social responsibility.
