Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about arranging independent product inspections with ECQA.
What is a third-party product inspection?
A third-party product inspection is an independent assessment of products against purchase specifications, approved samples, inspection criteria, and applicable requirements at a defined production stage.
Which product inspection service do I need?
The appropriate service depends on production status and risk. Pre-production inspection applies before manufacturing, DUPRO during manufacturing, pre-shipment inspection after production, and container loading supervision during loading.
How is the inspection sample size determined?
The sample size may be determined using the order quantity, inspection level, and agreed AQL under ISO 2859-1. Client-defined sampling plans can also be applied.
What information is needed to arrange an inspection?
Provide the factory details, product specifications, purchase order, order quantity, inspection date, approved sample or product images, packaging requirements, and required on-site tests.
Does a passed inspection mean every unit is defect-free?
A random-sampling inspection evaluates selected units from the available production lot. The findings reflect the inspected sample. ECQA can arrange a 100% inspection when every unit must be screened.
When will I receive the inspection report?
ECQA supports report delivery within 24 hours after inspection, subject to the project scope, location, and reporting requirements.
Can ECQA inspect products in multiple countries?
