Factory Audits

A Factory Audit (or Quality System and Compliance Audits) is a systematic evaluation of the quality system and responsible business practices of a supplier or manufacturer.

Factory Audit and Vendor Assessment Services

A good partner can make your business easier while an unaccountable one may bring headache and disaster. Regardless what the vendor tells you, an essential step to start is to get your validated first-hand report. Whether you just need some basic information to avoid scams or ensure factory-only deals, or to get deep into the manufacturer’s conditions and performance, factory audit before order is always helpful in the overseas sourcing process.

Our comprehensive solutions of factory audits ensure that factories align with your requirements in terms of quality management and ethical standards, including simple factory audit, comprehensive factory audit, social compliance audit, GMP audit, and retailer compliance audit.

FAQS on Factory Audits

1. What types of factory audits do you provide?
We offer a full range of audits including supplier assessment, quality system audits, social compliance audits, GMP audits for food and medical industry, and pre-audits for compliance with major retailers.
A factory audit is to verify a supplier’s legitimacy, production capacity, quality control system, working conditions, regulatory compliance, and ability to consistently meet your product requirements.
Most standard audits take one full day or two days on-site, depending on audit type, audit scope and factory size and preparedness. Typically, simple factory audit takes one full day; comprehensive technical audit and social compliance audit takes 2 days.

While next-day audits are possible where our auditors are located, we recommend booking at least three business days in advance. Early booking ensures proper scheduling and adequate preparation for the audit.
