A factory that passed an audit two years ago is not the same factory today. Management changes, subcontracting happens quietly, and quality can slip once a relationship feels comfortable. We run pre-production audits to confirm a factory can actually deliver what it says it can, and pre-shipment inspections to catch defects before they become your problem on the other side of the ocean.
This isn’t a rubber stamp. Our reports flag what’s wrong in plain terms, whether that’s a materials substitution, a workmanship issue, or missing documentation, so you can decide whether to require rework, renegotiate, or walk away, before you’ve paid in full.
Frequently Asked Questions
A proper audit covers business license validity, production capacity, equipment condition, worker conditions, and quality control processes, verified in person rather than taken from the factory's own claims. It also confirms the factory is not subcontracting your order to a third party without telling you.
Ideally both. A pre-production audit confirms the factory can actually make your product to spec. A pre-shipment inspection, done after production but before the goods leave, catches defects while they can still be fixed instead of after you have paid for shipping.
You get a detailed report of what did not meet spec, whether that is a materials issue, a workmanship issue, or a documentation gap. From there you can require rework, negotiate a price adjustment, or walk away from the order before final payment, depending on the severity.
Yes. Certifications describe a factory's systems in general, not the specific batch you ordered. An independent inspection checks the actual goods you are paying for, which is a different question than whether the factory is certified.
