Our aim is to provide you quality control solutions for your business starting from the time the raw material leaves the supplier to the point that your finished product is shipped to the customer. 365Inspections provide multiple quality control inspections including:
We focus on each stage of the production. Consumer Product Inspection can be performed in different stages of Production cycle, we offer an Initial Production Inspection to ensure the necessary quality of the raw materials and that our client and the vendor understand the specifications. A second check called During Production Inspection is done when at least 20% of the run has been completed and a third check called Pre-Shipment Inspection when 80% are ready and packed. These certify that the Production is carried out according to the clients’ tailored stipulations, ensuring that any problems can be solved systematically. Inspectors can monitor the factory daily, weekly or as specified to guarantee competency through our Production Monitoring Service, sending you a final report on the same day of inspection. The final check is Container Loading Check to ensure the goods will reach their destination in excellent condition.

Quality Standard
365Inspection uses the commonly recognized Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) standards as MIL-STD-105E (equals to ANSI/ASQC Z1.4, ISO 2859, NF06-022, BS 6001 or DIN 40080) to perform product inspections. This commonly used method is to measure and determine the maximum defective products found during inspection process from the selected sampling size. In the final report you will have all the data of quality issues to make an informed decision whether you accept or reject your production.
How to choose the sample size and acceptance number?
365Inspection default Acceptable Quality Level is II for a Standard Inspection. For your convenience, you can choose and set your Acceptable Quality Level through our online booking platform.
Let’s take a hypothetical Inspection of a Production with 10,000 pieces. In Table A, under the column level II, we get letter L.
According to Table B, we will inspect 200 pieces randomly. For AQL of 2.5, the maximum number of defective product should be no more than 10 pieces, otherwise the report will fail.
