Third party Quality Inspection Services in Mexico
TESTCOO third-party quality inspection services in Mexico help to ensure the quality, safety and sustainability of your products to satisfy regulatory requirements as well as the demands of the market.
Initial Production Check (IPC)
An Initial Production Check (IPC) is performed on raw materials and first run product. Before mass production, Testcoo inspectors onsite in Mexico will evaluate the first 10%-30% units produced to ensure compliance with necessary criteria, brand specifications, quality requirements which can firmly establish whether the manufacturer will be able to deliver on the promise to produce a quality product using the correct materials and manufacturing process, and orders shipping on time.
During Production Check (DUPRO)
During Production Check (DUPRO) in Mexico is an essential preventative measure taken in the early stages of production, which can mitigate costly mistakes in the long run by highlighting any problems before too many defective items are produced and avoid effecting the shipping schedule. Quality control inspectors of Testcoo usually perform on-site DUPRO inspections once a minimum of 30%, but no more than 50% of finished goods are produced to ensure consistent quality in the manufacturing process.
Final Random Inspection (FRI) is reliable by most of the buys. FRI inspections in Mexico act as a final check to evaluate product quality, packaging, and product labeling and carton markings and ensure that items are correctly packed and fit for their intended use. The FRI takes place at the 100% production completed with a minimum of 80% of goods packed and seated in shipping cartons for verification of your purchase specifications.
Full inspection conducts all productions have been completed. The much-needed product inspection is carried out to ensure that the final products are in accordance with the client’s quality standards.
The final but crucial step in the quality control process is properly preparing batches for shipping to destination markets. Loading Supervision (LS) is usually performed at the factory, forwarders warehouse, or port to verify count, confirm load, and seal the container.
