Factory Inspection
Services in China
Professional third-party quality inspection services across 40+ Chinese cities. Pre-production, during-production, pre-shipment, and container loading supervision — with detailed photo reports delivered within 48 hours.
Your Independent Quality Guardian in China
Factory inspection is an independent, third-party quality control process conducted at the manufacturing facility in China. Unlike relying on the factory's own QC team — who have a direct financial interest in passing your goods — our inspectors work exclusively for you.
We physically visit the factory, examine your goods against your specifications, conduct AQL sampling, test functionality, verify packaging, and deliver a comprehensive photo report — giving you the objective evidence you need to make informed decisions before goods leave China.
4 Types of Quality Inspection
Different stages of production require different inspection approaches. We cover every critical checkpoint from raw materials to container loading.
Pre-Production Inspection
Verify raw materials, components, and factory readiness before production starts. Catch specification mismatches and material defects before they become costly production errors.
- Raw material verification
- Component spec check
- Factory readiness audit
- Sample approval
During Production (DUPRO)
Inspect goods when 20–80% of production is complete. Identify and correct defects while there is still time to fix them without delaying your shipment.
- AQL sampling at 20–80%
- Defect rate monitoring
- Spec compliance check
- Production timeline review
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
The most critical inspection — conducted when 100% of goods are produced and at least 80% are packed. Your last opportunity to reject or rework before goods leave China.
- AQL 2.5 / 4.0 sampling
- Packaging & labeling check
- Quantity count verification
- Carton drop test
Container Loading Supervision
Our inspector is present at the factory on loading day to supervise the container stuffing process, verify quantities loaded, and confirm goods match the approved samples.
- Container condition check
- Loading quantity count
- Goods vs. sample match
- Seal number recording
