1. Quality Starts Before Inspection

Good quality control begins with clear specifications, samples, supplier selection and production communication — not only with a final inspection.

2. Inspection References

Inspection criteria can be based on approved samples, drawings, specifications, purchase orders, packaging standards and customer checklists.

3. Common Inspection Items

Typical checks may include quantity, appearance, dimensions, function, material, color, workmanship, labels, packaging and accessories.

4. Inspection Stages

Depending on the order, checkpoints may include pre-production review, during-production inspection, pre-shipment inspection or full inspection.

5. Third-Party Testing

Certification, laboratory testing and specialized technical inspections may require qualified external organizations.

6. Realistic Limitation

Inspection reduces uncertainty and identifies visible or testable non-conformities within the agreed scope. It does not create a reasonable basis for promising zero defects.
