Our Hardline Goods Inspection Services

• Initial Production Check (IPC): Before production starts, we verify the quality of raw materials such as metals, plastics, fabrics, and wood. We also check that manufacturing processes align with required safety standards.

• During Production Inspection (DUPRO): As production progresses, we monitor the assembly process, ensuring that the correct materials are being used and that all parts are properly assembled. For example, in the case of tools, we check for proper calibration and functionality.

• Final Random Inspection (FRI): Once production is completed, we inspect the finished products for defects, such as scratches, dents, or poor finishing. For items like furniture, we check for assembly quality, joint strength, and stability.

• Container Loading Supervision (CLS): We oversee the loading of products into containers, ensuring they are packed securely to avoid damage during transport, especially for fragile or bulky items like furniture or tools.

• Factory-Based Sample Picking: We randomly pick samples from the production batch and conduct thorough checks to ensure consistency in quality, design, and functionality.

What We Check During Hardline Goods Inspections

• Component Quality: We ensure that all components, such as capacitors, resistors, microchips, and transistors, meet quality standards and are free from defects that could compromise the functionality of the product.

• Material Quality: We ensure that the materials used in hardline goods, such as steel, wood, plastic, and fabric, meet quality standards for durability, safety, and performance.

• Functionality: For items like tools and outdoor gear, we test their functionality to ensure they perform as expected. For example, we test power tools for motor performance, garden tools for sharpness and ergonomics, and sports equipment for durability and safety.

• Safety Features: We inspect all safety mechanisms in products like power tools, automotive accessories, and furniture to ensure they are compliant with safety standards and reduce the risk of accidents or injuries during use.

• Assembly and Finish: We check that all components are assembled correctly and that the product has a smooth, high-quality finish. For furniture, we test for stability, joint strength, and finish quality to prevent issues like wobbling or weak joints.

• Compliance with Regulatory Standards: We ensure that hardline goods meet relevant regulations and certifications, such as CE marking, UL certification, ISO standards, and other industry-specific safety and quality standards.

• Durability and Performance: We conduct durability tests, such as stress tests for tools, weather resistance for outdoor products, and weight-bearing tests for furniture, to ensure that the products can withstand regular use over time.

• Packaging and Labeling: We ensure that all products are packaged securely for transport and that labeling is accurate, including product instructions, care guidelines, and safety warnings.
