Quality Control From Incoming Material to Loaded Container

Furniture fails in a small number of predictable places: the joint, the coating, the fixing hardware and the carton. The inspection points below are placed at those four, rather than spread evenly across a process for the sake of a flowchart.

Step by step

How This Runs

Eight stages, each with a decision that belongs to the buyer as much as to the factory.

Incoming material

Steel, panel, glass and fabric checked against the model specification.

First-article check

The first piece off the line is checked against the approved sample.

In-process frame check

Frames checked flat and square before surface preparation.

Coating check

Colour and coverage checked against the approved sample.

Hardware pack audit

Pack contents counted against the instruction sheet.

Assembly trial

Units assembled from the carton to confirm fit and instructions.

Carton and marking check

Carton, print and handling marks verified before sealing.

Pre-shipment inspection

Sampled against the agreed AQL before loading.

Answers

Quality Control Programme — Questions

What AQL do you inspect to?

The AQL is agreed with the buyer per order. Tell us the level your account works to.

Can we send a third-party inspector?

Yes. Third-party inspection is normal on retail orders — book it against the loading date.

Do you keep the approved sample?

The approved sample is retained as the production reference.

What certifications does the factory hold?

Certificate status is confirmed per order in writing. It is not published in the catalogue because it changes with scheme and scope.
