Consumer Goods Inspection

Inspection services, also known as notarized inspection or export inspection in trade, are activities carried out on behalf of the client or buyer at the request of the client or buyer to inspect and verify the quality of the goods supplied and other relevant aspects in the purchase and sale contract. The purpose is to verify whether the goods supplied by the supplier meet the requirements of the purchase contract and any other special requirements of the buyer.

 

Buyers, intermediaries, brand owners, and retailers need to ensure the quality of goods in their purchase orders, whether the entire batch of goods can be delivered on time, whether there are any defects, and how to avoid receiving substandard products that could lead to consumer complaints, returns, and damage to business reputation.

 

Product inspection is an essential part of quality control and an effective and direct way to confirm the quality of an entire batch of goods. It assists buyers, intermediaries, brand owners, and retailers in verifying product quality and quantity, reducing contract disputes, lowering the cost of monitoring production and quality control, and minimizing the loss of business reputation due to substandard products.

Whether for the buyer or seller, these standards serve as a certification of product quality. Some common AQL standards include ANSI/ASQC Z1.4, MIL-STD-105E, BS 6001, ISO 2859, and GB/T 28281.
