Guide in Progress

Quality Control & Inspection

Pre-production, during-production, and pre-shipment checks you can request from a Chinese supplier — and how to handle the results without burning the relationship.

Planned coverage

  • The three checkpoints: pre-production, during-production, and pre-shipment inspection.
  • What to check against: drawings, approved samples, specification sheets, and packaging requirements.
  • How sampling and acceptance decisions work in practice, and where to define limits in writing.
  • In-house vs. third-party inspection, and the documentation an inspector should produce.
  • What to do when a batch fails: rework, sorting, replacement, and contract remedies.

In progress. This guide is under research. Sampling levels, acceptance criteria, and template language will be published as general, verifiable guidance — never as legal advice or a substitute for a written quality agreement. verified content coming soon.
