Appearance check: Check whether the product surface has scratches, shrinkage, deformation, stains, burrs, color difference and other defects. Check whether the product style, color and material are consistent with the confirmation sample.
Craftsmanship check: Check whether the assembly structure of the product is firm and whether the parts are matched. Such as the plastic parts of the injection molding process; zipper pulling is smooth and so on.
Dimensional Measurement: Measure critical dimensions using gauges to ensure they are within tolerance. Function and performance testing:
Perform comprehensive functional testing. If required, prioritize time-consuming projects such as aging tests and safety tests.
Outer box drop test: simulate the transportation process, check the protection performance of the packaging, others can be done according to requirements, such as vibration test, pressure test, etc.

Sixth, on-site communication, records, confirmation and defective products handling

Communication with the factory should be strictly centered on product quality, inspection processes and problems found on site.

Take the initiative to communicate with the person in charge of production or quality control before the inspection, and ask about the common types of defective products in the production process, the difficulties and their responses, which will help you to quickly locate the problem.

During the inspection process, all findings, including the number of defects, test data, etc., need to be synchronized and faithfully handwritten and recorded on the Site Inspection Report.
