Quality Assurance & Supplier Qualification

Quality built into every stage.

Defined checks connect product requirements, materials, process control and final release—so buyers can understand how quality is reviewed before shipment.

Quality control framework

Four checkpoints buyers can follow.

Quality is reviewed from incoming inputs through shipment release—not treated as a single final-stage activity.

IQC

Incoming Quality Control

Review applicable materials, components and supporting records before production use.

Buyer relevance · input consistency
IPQC

In-Process Quality Control

Check defined attributes at appropriate manufacturing checkpoints.

Buyer relevance · process stability
FQC

Final Quality Control

Review product appearance, function and packing against agreed criteria.

Buyer relevance · release readiness
PSV

Pre-Shipment Verification

Confirm final records, quantities and shipment-facing requirements.

Buyer relevance · order confidence

Default inspection standard: AQL 2.5 General Inspection Level II, customizable per buyer requirements.

98.5%+Batch pass rate
<1%Customer complaint rate
24hNon-conformity response
100%Batch traceability

Standard AQL 2.5 inspection ensures controlled defect rate and reduces market recall risk for your brand.

Reference data, subject to specific product category.

What we check

Quality is multidimensional.

The applicable inspection plan is agreed by product, specification, target market and project risk.

Quality process

Eight decisions from brief to release.

A quality workflow built around verification and evidence—not a duplicate of product development or sourcing selection.

Testing & verification

Technical review by applicable scope.

The exact verification plan depends on the product, material, market, approved specification and agreed evidence needs.

↔VERIFY 01

Physical / Dimensional

  • Key dimensions and tolerances
  • Weight, thickness or fit where relevant
  • Reference sample comparison

Reference standard: ISO 2768 tolerance requirements

✓VERIFY 02

Functional Verification

  • Defined use-case performance
  • Assembly or closure operation
  • Project-specific handling checks

Pet product use-scenario simulation test

MVERIFY 03

Material / Applicable Testing

  • Material documentation review
  • Applicable third-party test scope
  • Target-market requirements

Compliant with EU REACH, LFGB food contact regulations

□VERIFY 04

Packaging Verification

  • Packing method and quantity
  • Label and marking review
  • Shipment protection context

ISTA transport simulation test available

Verification categories are illustrative and project dependent. Test method, sampling, laboratory and acceptance criteria require confirmation.

Defect control & corrective action

Control the response—not only the inspection.

When a non-conformity is identified, the process should protect affected product, preserve records and verify the agreed response.

01 · DETECT

Issue Identified

Record the observed condition against the agreed criteria.

02 · CONTAIN

Segregate / Record

Separate affected material or product and retain traceability.

03 · REVIEW

Root Cause Review

Assess contributing process, material or handling factors.

04 · RESPOND

Corrective Action

Define an appropriate controlled action by scope.

05 · VERIFY

Re-Verification

Confirm the agreed criteria after corrective activity.

06 · FOLLOW

Release / Follow-Up

Record disposition and any required follow-up review.

  • No zero-defect guarantee
  • Evidence retained by applicable project scope
  • Buyer communication defined by issue significance

Documentation & compliance support
