Our 9-Step Product Inspection Process
Inspection Spec Alignment
We review product specification sheets, CAD drawings, color codes, and acceptable defect limits.
Pre-Production Check (PPI)
We inspect raw materials, tooling, and machinery calibration before bulk manufacturing starts.
During Production (DUPRO)
We inspect semi-finished goods on the line when 20% to 50% of production is complete.
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)
We inspect finished cargo when 80% to 100% of the order is packed in master cartons.
Dimensional & Workmanship Check
We measure product dimensions, weight, craftsmanship, color matching, and aesthetic finish.
Electrical & Function Test
We perform voltage testing, battery cycle tests, barcode scannability, and functional checks.
Packaging & Drop Testing
We conduct ISTA 1A carton drop tests, box strength tests, polybag warning checks, and labeling QC.

Frequently Asked Questions — Product Inspection
Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) is a comprehensive quality check conducted when at least 80% of your production order is completed and packed in master cartons. It is the industry standard for approving final payment release.
CLS involves an inspector standing at the loading dock to verify carton quantities, inspect container condition, monitor loading, and apply a certified ISO high-security bolt seal.
Standard tests include dimensional measurement, weight checks, barcode scannability, ISTA carton drop tests, electrical safety checks, color matching, and functional testing.
Sample sizes are calculated using the international ISO 2859-1 (ANSI/ASQ Z1.4) single sampling plan based on total batch quantity and General Inspection Level II.
Yes, we encourage clients to provide custom spec sheets, CAD drawings, tolerance limits, and specific defect criteria which we incorporate into our inspector’s workflow.
We deliver a detailed, photo-supported digital PDF report within 24 hours of completing the factory visit.
THE FOUR CRITICAL STAGES OF PRODUCT INSPECTION IN CHINA
On-site quality inspections in China catch defects before cargo leaves the factory. Inspecting goods at key manufacturing stages prevents costly returns, customer complaints, and shipment delays.
1. Stage 1: Pre-Production Inspection (PPI) and Raw Material Audits
PPI happens before bulk production begins. Our inspectors check incoming raw materials, prototype tooling, and machine settings to ensure your order starts with correct specifications.
2. Stage 2: During Production Inspection (DUPRO) at 20-50% Completion
DUPRO takes place when 20% to 50% of production is complete. It catches line defects early so the factory can adjust machinery without delaying final delivery dates.
3. Stage 3: Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) on Finished Goods
PSI occurs when goods are 100% produced and at least 80% packed into master cartons. We apply ISO 2859-1 (AQL 2.5) statistical sampling to evaluate overall product quality before balance payment release.
4. Stage 4: Container Loading Supervision (CLS) at the Dock
During CLS, our inspector monitors carton loading, verifies carton counts, checks container weatherproofing, and seals container doors with an ISO 17712 bolt seal.
5. Dimensional Tolerances, Material Density, and Weight Verification
We measure product dimensions, unit weights, and material density against approved engineering drawings, ensuring units match your exact specifications.
6. Functional Performance Testing Across Specific Product Categories
We run category-specific tests: voltage and battery checks for electronics, seam strength and needle checks for apparel, and torque and coating tests for hardware.
7. Master Carton ISTA 1A Drop Testing and Moisture Checks
To protect goods in transit, we perform ISTA 1A drop tests on packed master cartons and measure container moisture levels to prevent mold during ocean shipping.
8. Retail Box Printing, Polybag Suffocation Warnings, and Barcodes
We inspect artwork printing, polybag warning labels, FNSKU barcodes, and master carton shipping marks to meet retail and e-commerce warehouse requirements.
9. Issuing the Pass/Fail Certificate for Milestone Payment Release
When inspection standards are met, we issue an official Inspection Pass Certificate, giving you full authorization to transfer the remaining production balance.
10. Managing Re-Inspections and Supplier Accountability
If an inspection fails, the factory must fix defective units at their own cost. Speedline conducts a re-inspection before approving final dispatch.
