Consumer Goods Inspection

QISJ’s network of experts ensure that your products conform to your specifications and any relevant standards for a wide range of consumer goods, including softlines, hardlines, electrical and electronic products.

We also verify that packaging, labelling, instructions, and markings are in accordance with mandatory standards, and that your supplier operates to contractual requirements.

Our scope of services include: QISJ offers different inspection services depending on the stage of production and packaging.

1. Initial Production Check (IPC) - IPC is carried out when the production is at the stage of 5-10% finished. This is to give you an overview understanding about the quality, avoid the producing risks that come to large quantity unqualified products, solve the found quality problems timely before the massive production starts.
2. During Production Inspection (DUPRO) - DUPRO is performed at the stage of 30%- 50% goods finished and packed into export cartons. Quality problems may happen during the massive production. Hence, an inspection at this stage can timely keep you updated whether the products are consistent with your approved sample and requirements, ensuring the mass production delivery on time, so as to reduce the risks of possible delay shipment.
3. Final Random Inspection (FRI) – FRI is an on-site Final Product Inspection at the stage of 100% completed production and products need to be at least 80% packed into export cartons. It helps to know the product’s compliance with the specifications (PO, style, measurements, labeling & markings, functionality, safety and regulatory requirements, etc). Final Random Inspection helps you to:
   • Ensure that your order was filled successfully, before it’s dispatched
   • Rest assured that the supplier has met all agreed-upon specifications
   • Reduce in import risk
   • Protect brand image and reputation
   • Refuse defective shipment
   • Avoid unexpected costs and delays or returns
   • Save time and secure your business
   • Facilitate rework easily at manufacturing facility (if required)
4. Cargo Container Loading Supervision (L/S) - Improper handling of your goods can cause damage, delays and costs. QISJ’s Container Loading Supervision (L/S) service is offered to make sure that your products are handled properly and securely loaded into container before shipment.
5. Sampling Drawing (S/D)– In order to ensure you get what you asked for, it is important to know exactly where your production samples come from. Blindly trusting and approving the samples that the factory sent to you can be risky since the final product may not reflect actual production. Sampling Drawing Service (S/D) is performed to ensure that the samples are picked randomly from mass production to avoid the pre-arranged by the factories.

Verification of Conformity

Our verification of conformity service helps ensure that shipments conform to local importing standards in order to be cleared at destination.

Our commitment to the clients is clear. We handled Certificate of Conformity (COC) as quickly as possible to guarantee the quality and safety of the shipment and ensure its smooth clearance through customs.

We assess conformity before a shipment sets sail, from diligent verification of documentation and sample collection for laboratory analysis to physical inspections of goods.

Our teams are on the ground, ready and able to guide a client through local procedures, quickly, accurately and with maximum efficiency.

Once conformity is established, we issue the Certificate of Conformity mandated by the government of the importing country. This certificate prevents the shipment from being rejected and allows importers to clear their goods.
