\n\t\tPre-Shipping Inspections in China\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our inspectors will carry out random inspections on fully finished goods as required. All we require is a specification or product checklist. For simpler products, we can inspect against a ‘Golden Sample’ if required. We will normally inspect in accordance with MIL-STD 105E. The inspections available cover the full range of product material quality, build quality, assembly, functionality and also packaging – it’s up to you.<\/p>\n

On completion of the inspection a report will be issued. The purpose of the report is to give you the confidence to authorise final payment of your order. Should problems be detected, we will offer possible solutions and recovery actions in our report.<\/p>\n

Pre-shipment inspections can be carried out as a ‘one-off’ task or as the final product check in our wider manufacturing management service. The Pre-Shipment inspection can often be carried out at the same time as a Container Loading Inspection.<\/p>\n

If too many defective articles are found within the sample lot, the supplier must re-check or scrap all\u00a0parts in stock and issue an 8D CAR within 4 days.<\/p>\n

C2W Quality Inspectors use the recognized international Quality Control standard ISO 2859- 1 (ANSI\/ASQC Z1.4-2003), also known as the AQL Tables to measure acceptable levels of quality during their routine product inspections.<\/p>\n

The AQL (acceptable quality level) can be set to an agreed figure for each type of defect that determines clearly the number of parts that are allowed to have certain types of defects before the\u00a0entire lot is rejected and dealt with by the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Levels set are project dependant but in general defects will be judged (as an example) as follows:<\/p>\n1. Safety or Critical Defect (functional included) –<\/strong> the entire lot will be rejected if any safety defect is\u00a0found. This could be a sharp edge, malfunction or anything that could cause physical injury.
\nAQL – 0<\/strong>\n2. Major Defect –<\/strong> Determined as serious scratches or obvious deformations.
\nAQL – 1<\/strong>\n3. Minor Defect –<\/strong> Dirt, light scratches, minor colour differences and small burrs fall into this category.
\nAQL – 4.<\/strong>\n\t
