When importers sourcing in China and booked quality control service from third party QC company, you may question on what the QC inspector really help you in quality control? how the QC inspector actually helps you solve quality problems? here we briefly the steps how QC inspector to carry out a pre-shipment inspection.

Generally, the main role of a QC inspector is to identify and report issues based on the standards agreed upon by the customer and supplier, the QC inspector will thoroughly check goods via visual inspection, perform on-site tests, confirm packaging durability, and conformance to standards and more. The inspector generally carries out an inspection in the following steps:

Schedule the inspection date

Factory management picks a date for inspection and confirms to QC company for performing the service

Perform the inspection

The QC inspector visits the factory and checks the products according to the customer or importer’s criteria. sampling the products according to AQL standard(How to use the AQL Table?), Any issues found are documented on-site in a detailed report, which is then sent to the importer for review

Make conclusion

Based on the actual findings shown in the report, the importer will make a decision on whether to ship the order. a re-inspection based on different standards may be asked again, and ask the factory to take some corrective action or choose to accept the order despite any issues reported during the inspection. In some cases, you may even want to ask the factory to destroy defective units while a third-party supervises.

Whatever conclusion you decide, it’s generally up to you to address any problems directly with your supplier. The inspection report and the result showed merely help you make an informed decision, giving you transparency to see the true status and condition. and secure the quality of your shipment

Quality Control and Assurance

Acting as your eyes and ears in the facility is what QC inspectors excel at. They give you a snapshot of order quality and status. But a third-party QC company doesn’t have the same relationship you have with your supplier. If your goal is to fix issues with an order or factory after reviewing the inspection report, you need to be the one to directly address these with your supplier and jointly determine what action is needed next.

You know the kind of product you and your customers expect. And Chinese suppliers are more likely to take action to fulfill a request of their customer than of some outside third party. Ultimately, successfully addressing product QC and non-conformity requires cooperation from both the supplier and importer.
