Product Quality Inspection
Garment inspection is a vital process of quality control for measuring the quality of the product, comparing with requirements and acting on the variations. Accordia offers quality inspection services that can be conducted simultaneously with social and C-TPAT audits.
Pre production In Process Inspection Final Random Inspection Witnessed Loading/Sealing
Pre-production inspection is performed to inspect materials and components before production starts to ensure the function and appearance of the components are consistent and satisfactory.
The purpose of in-process inspections is to help a new factory, the vendor and our retail client to identify potential problems early enough in the manufacturing process that they can be fixed and the quality of the product improved.
Accordias Final Random Inspection typically is conducted on finished garments when the production stage is 100% complete. Garments are normally required to be a minimum of 80% packed, unless otherwise requested by client.
