Pre-Shipment Inspection
A Pre-shipment Inspection is performed when production is 100% finished and packing is 80% finished. It is the last defense line to ensure the products have been manufactured match the Client’s specifications and packed ready to ship, thus preventing epidemically defective goods from being shipped.
What is an Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)?
The Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI), a.k.a. Final Random Inspection (FRI), is a systematic inspection of randomly selected units from all batches of your order, conducted when 80% of production is complete. It reduces the risk of costly import issues and safeguards your product’s quality by providing an opportunity for corrective action before production is finished and packed.
Veriquality uses the ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) statistical sampling procedure for all inspections, including the Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI). This inspection covers functionality, performance, durability, overall appearance, and dimension to ensure that your product meets your standards. The PSI is a valuable tool to prevent quality issues and protect your product’s reputation, giving you confidence in its quality before shipping.
What Does a Pre-Shipment Inspection Consist Of?
Veriquality’s highly trained product inspectors will use the appropriate sampling process to select product lots for pre-shipment inspection, and check them against your quality requirements or the standards of your destination market.
