Comprehensive Product Inspection in India

India's manufacturing industry spans various sectors, including textiles, consumer goods, electronics, automotive, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. The country's diverse industrial landscape serves both domestic and global markets, presenting significant opportunities for businesses across different sectors. However, navigating India's complex manufacturing processes and regulatory environment can be challenging, leading to potential quality control issues. To avoid these challenges, rigorous product inspections are essential to ensure that goods meet industry standards and specifications before reaching customers.

Types of Product Inspections in India

Absolute Veritas offers a range of inspection services throughout the production cycle, from initial setup to pre-shipment and container loading stages, to ensure your products maintain high-quality standards at every stage of the manufacturing process.

1. Initial Production Check (IPC):

Booking a Product Inspection in India: Guidelines

To maximize the effectiveness of product inspections, it is essential to ensure proper preparation. Here are some tips for buyers when booking a quality inspection service in India:

• AQL Sampling: Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) is the most commonly used sampling method during pre-shipment inspections. AQL defines the maximum number of defective items allowed in a sample before the entire shipment is rejected. For clothing items, AQL values of 1.5%, 2.5%, and 4.0% are typically used, depending on the type and value of the clothing.

• Supplier Guidelines: Ensure the products to be inspected are in one location, and confirm the inspection date at least 5 working days prior to shipment. Ensure proper test equipment, packing lists, and spec sheets are available for the inspection.
