Quality Inspection

ITA Product Quality Inspections will help protect your brand and your company’s reputation by minimizing defective merchandise, customer complaints, non-compliant products, and late shipments.

It is imperative that manufacturers verify that the products manufactured, shipped and distributed under their brand name meet industry, government regulations or their own specific requirements. As an independent, third party inspection and testing company, ITA can conduct a variety of on-site inspections to ensure that your brand, reputation and consumers are protected. Product Quality Inspections can help manufacturers:

Ensure product safety prior to shipping

Minimize the amount of defective merchandise

Reduce customer complaints due to inferior products

Detect merchandise containing non-standard or non-compliant components

Eliminate late shipments

Based on your specific needs throughout the manufacturing process, ITA offers a wide variety of quality inspection services.

Pre-Production Inspections

ITA will inspect raw materials and components before production begins. After product samples are provided, we will verify that the factory has ordered the correct materials, components, and accessories. We will also randomly select and inspect a sample of partially produced products for potential defects, then report our findings to you. If necessary, we can provide the factory with the technical advice necessary to improve product quality and to minimize the chance of defects during production.

During Production Inspections

During Production Inspections are ideal for shipments of substantial quantities; product lines with continuous production; strict requirements for on-time shipments; and as a follow-up if poor results were found during Pre-Production Inspection. Normally, During Production Inspections are carried out when 10-15% of the merchandise is completed. ITA will inspect the production batch and examine products in the line for possible defects.

At this point we will identify deviations, if any, and offer advice on corrective measures that will ensure uniformity of product and quality. We will also re-check any defects discovered during Pre-Production Inspection and confirm that they have been rectified.

Final Random Inspections

Final Random Inspections can begin only after production has been completed and all merchandise is ready and packed for shipment. Through a statistical method set by industry standards, we will sample products to verify product safety, quantity, workmanship, function, color, size, packing, and more. This ensures that your product is consistent and compliant with all country, industry, or otherwise-specified requirements and that no critical major or minor defects appear.

Loading supervision

During Loading supervision, an ITA representative will closely monitor the loading process, verify product quantity, and ensure proper handling of the cargo. Upon completion, the container(s) will be sealed with  ITA tape as proof of compliance. This service significantly reduces the risk associated with importing cargo.

Bar Code Check

Earth Continuity Check
