Pre-shipment inspection

Pre-shipment inspection, also called PSI, is an important and reliable quality control method for checking goods’ quality while clients buy from the suppliers.

After ordering a number of articles, the buyer lets a third party control the ordered goods before they are dispatched to him. Normally an independent inspection company is assigned with the task of the PSI, as it is in the interest of the buyer that somebody not connected with the deal in any way verifies the amount and quality. This way the buyer makes sure, he gets the goods he paid for.

Qmark carries out verification of quality, quantity, price (including currency exchange rate and financial terms). Also, our scope of work includes Packing & Marking and Supervision of Loading.

Initial Production Check

Initial Production Check should be placed before production starts. This is the visual inspection of products as available at the beginning of the production process against customer instructions and purchase order specifications. The Initial Production Check is done in combination with the Final Random Inspection and other ongoing production checks. The execution of the purchase order is also monitored closely as part of these multi-stage inspections. The resultant interim reports keep you informed about production progress in relation to the terms of delivery.

Following criteria are included in Initial Production Check:

– Quality of components / raw material

– Arrival status of all requested materials

– Production capability estimated by Factory

– Reduces end-line defects

– Saves time and efforts of final inspection

– Helps to fix the problems at the outset, and prevents common mistakes being made    repeatedly

– Helps to ensure quality of the products of a production line

Finished Product Check

Ensuring that finished products are safe, of the appropriate quality and fully compliant with regulations of your target markets is becoming an increasingly important and complex task.

Finished products checking takes place when the merchandise is completed and ready for shipment.  Our inspectors pull a random sample of finished goods, based on the internationally recognized statistical random sampling technique. We verify quantity, workmanship, function, color, size specifications and other details, all with an objective to ensure that the contract specifications are met. We also provide 100% visual inspection services for finished products.
