WHAT'S AN WPQF PRE-SHIPMENT INSPECTION?

Pre-Shipment Inspection is an essential element of supply chain management. This inspection takes place at the end of the production process when 80% to 100% of the goods are manufactured and packed for export.

We customize each inspection to focus on what is important for you by combining our standard inspection checklists with your unique product requirements and Acceptable Quality Limits.

WPQF Pre-Shipment Inspection checklists provide an extensive classification of defects and on-site tests based on international standards (EU, USA, AU and more).

The pre-shipment inspection process typically involves several key steps:
  • Booking and Scheduling: The inspection is arranged with a third-party quality control agency like WPQF.
