An audit is about capability; an inspection is about this batch. We keep the two separate, each with its own checklist and photographs, and the report only states what was seen on site.
Who usually comes to us for this
- You are working with this factory for the first time and want independent eyes
- A long-term supplier has become inconsistent and you need sampling data, not opinions
- Several factories ship in one container and everything must be checked in one place
What we actually do
- 1
Agree the standard
We list check items and AQL levels against your critical characteristics — level II is common, critical defects are zero-tolerance — and fix the criteria before entering the plant.
- 2
On-site execution
We inspect item by item against the checklist and document dimensions, function, appearance and packaging separately — including how the sample was drawn.
- 3
Report
A bilingual report within 24–48 hours with defect classification, photos and an explicit verdict: pass, rework or redo.
- 4
Rework and re-inspection
Reworkable defects get reworked, rejects get remade, and any re-inspection is quoted separately rather than folded into the first inspection fee.
What you receive
- Audit report: credentials, lines, capacity, on-site photos
- Inspection report: AQL, defect classification, photos, verdict
- Defect corrective-action sheet
- Re-inspection record where applicable
The two questions we get most
How fast is the report?
The formal report lands within 24–48 hours of the site visit. For urgent shipments we send the verdict and key photos the same day and follow with the full report.
What happens if the batch fails?
We deliver the verdict and the evidence first, then negotiate rework or remake with the factory. Whether re-inspection is needed and what it costs is stated in the report — no after-the-fact add-ons.

The first consultation and requirement assessment are free, and the quote states scope and fee structure explicitly.
