Quality Assurance
On-site inspection before anything leaves the factory.
Overview
On-site inspection before anything leaves the factory.
Problems are cheapest to fix at the factory. IPS inspects your order on-site against the approved sample and supervises loading, with photos and video sent to you before the container leaves.
IPS sends an inspector on-site to physically check the products and the container itself before shipment, catching issues while they can still be fixed, not after they've landed.
What’s included
- Pre-shipment inspection against the approved sample
- On-site container loading supervision and seal check
- Random sampling and defect-rate checks (AQL-based)
- Packaging, labelling, and carton count verification
- Photo and video documentation before departure
