- Ask the appointed reviewer to confirm document scope and authenticity.

Confirm before you ship
Inspection depth, sampling, tolerances, and testing are agreed in advance. Visual or functional checks do not replace accredited laboratory testing, product certification, or regulatory assessment. Supplier lead times and purchasing terms are confirmed separately.
Start with a specification everyone can check
A product link is a useful starting point, but the approved specification should fix the model, material, size, colour, quantity, accessories, and packaging. Dated instructions help keep supplier quotes, receiving checks, and shipment records aligned.
Before purchasing
Compare supplier offers and samples against the approved specification. Confirm purchasing and payment authority, supplier terms, and the expected production or dispatch date.
Before release
Agree sample-based or full inspection, acceptance criteria, and photo or video evidence where needed. Review discrepancies and approve corrective action before export.

| Product checked | SKU, variant, supplier reference, specification version |
| Inspection scope | Agreed checks, sampling method, units checked |
| Findings | Observed result, discrepancy, supporting photo or video reference |

Before inventory arrives
Share your SKU list, quantities, product dimensions and weight, supplier references, requested checks, and destination. Agree receiving instructions and special handling before dispatching stock to us.
Use the shipment preparation guide
Define a complete item before requesting an inspection
For a kit or carton sold as one unit, list the components and quantities, distinguishing variants, reference photos and approved packaging. Explain which checks require opening the package, whether that is permitted, and how inspected stock should be resealed.
Agree the inspection coverage, findings record and approval needed for a mismatch. A readable barcode does not establish that the contents match the approved product.
Questions about this service
What does a quality inspection include?
The checklist is agreed for your product. It may include quantity, model, size, colour, appearance, accessories, packaging, or selected functional checks. Sampling, evidence, and acceptance criteria are confirmed before inspection.
Can you work with suppliers I have already selected?
Yes. Send the supplier offer, product specification, quantities, and readiness date so we can scope the receiving and inspection work around your existing supplier choice.
What happens if quantities or condition do not match?
We document the discrepancy and agree the next step with you. Affected stock is separated from the inventory approved for preparation or dispatch.
When is purchasing approved?
Supplier selection, sample approval, payment authority, and final shipment release are separate decisions. We agree which approvals are needed before purchasing or dispatch.
Review your sourcing and inspection brief
Start with your product specifications, suppliers or sourcing needs, quantities, and inspection priorities.
Request a service quoteMake packaging and condition checks explicit
Identify which surfaces, seals, components and packaging features should be checked. Agree sampling or full coverage, evidence and the response to damage, wet packaging or uncertain condition. Distinguish visual checks from any requested product or transport testing.
Specify the packing example and condition record
Define what an inspection result covers
Agree the specification reference, SKU or batch, check procedure, coverage, acceptance criteria and evidence before work starts. Receiving counts, visual checks, functional checks and specialist testing are separate scopes.
Warehouse photos do not establish material composition or certification. Record unchecked or unresolved requirements, and agree who approves additional testing, rework or release.
Agree what happens after a discrepancy
Use an approved specification version and identify the affected SKU, batch, checked quantity and observed difference. Scope supplier replacement, additional checks or rework with an approval owner, fee agreement and recheck instruction. Keep unresolved stock on hold until the next action is approved.
Use the expanded inspection and rework guide · Check finished-set components
Confirm a changed product before using it
Record the previous and proposed specification, affected batch and quantities, supporting evidence and approval owner. Agree any new sample or recheck scope, and keep unresolved stock separate from approved release quantities.
Define accessory fit separately from a count
Share the main-item and component versions, approved pairing, requested procedure and observable acceptance criteria. Receiving counts, model matching, fit checks and independent testing answer different questions and require an agreed scope.
