Quality Control and Inspection

Quality control at Sourcify China begins long before production starts. The success of a buyer's business depends on the reliability and consistency of what they source, so the process opens with verifying factory certifications and moves through pre production inspection rather than waiting for a final check at the end. Our team works with you to understand your specific requirements so that what is inspected is what you actually care about.

Workflow

From Enquiry to Delivered Goods

Every stage below is a point where sourcing projects usually go wrong. This is what we do at each of them.

Enquiry

Problem: Buyers describe quality in adjectives and factories then deliver against their own interpretation of those adjectives.

We convert the expectation into checkable characteristics at the enquiry stage, because an inspector can only verify something that was written down as a criterion.

Factory selection

Problem: Certificates presented in a sales pack are the easiest documents in the supply chain to misrepresent.

Factory certifications are verified as part of the selection step and the factory is only recommended once it meets our standards for that class of product.

Design and specification

Problem: A specification with no inspection plan attached is an opinion rather than a control.

Each requirement is paired with how it will be checked and at which stage, so the criteria exist before anyone starts making the goods.

Sampling

Problem: A hand made showpiece proves what the factory can do at its best, not what it will send in volume.

Every sample undergoes rigorous quality checks against the agreed criteria and the approved piece is then retained as the reference for the run.

Pre production

Problem: By the time the first pallet exists the materials have been bought and the tooling is cut.

Pre production inspections are conducted before the line starts so materials tooling and setup are confirmed while changes are still inexpensive.

Production

Problem: A factory floor left unvisited during a run drifts from the approved standard without anyone intending it to.

Our team conducts thorough factory visits during the work to confirm quality compliance and transparency and reports what was found.

Packing and logistics

Problem: Goods that passed inspection are still routinely damaged between the inspection table and the container.

Packing method and carton marking are treated as inspected characteristics in their own right and checked at the loading stage.

After sales

Problem: A defect found after arrival is hard to attribute once the goods have left the country of manufacture.

The inspection record the approved sample and the factory reference are kept together so a later claim is argued from evidence rather than from recollection.

FAQ

Quality Control and Inspection FAQ

When does your quality control begin

It begins long before production starts with verification of factory certifications and pre production inspections.

Do you visit the factory in person

Our team conducts thorough factory visits to confirm quality compliance and transparency during the order.

Who decides what is inspected

We work closely with you to understand your specific requirements so that every product aligns with your expectations.

Are samples inspected too

Every sample undergoes rigorous quality checks before it reaches you which is what makes the sample a usable reference for the run.

Does quality control replace our own inspection

It does not remove your right to inspect but it moves most of the checking into China where a problem can still be corrected rather than only rejected.
