The first articles are mass-produced units off the first production line. Learn how Guided Imports China Quality Inspection and Control services can ensure confidence at the start of your next production.
A China first article inspection can be carried out on the first production run to confirm the production will replicate the golden sample.
You Should Conduct an FAI in China if:
The China FAI will help you maintain confidence that your supplier is producing the correct product at the start of the production. While other inspections may help define the production quality, the China FAI will determine correctness from the beginning. When pairing a China FAI inspection with a during production inspection, you can have a quality system that maintains assurance throughout the manufacturing process.
First article inspection services in China allow for a significant opportunity to identify and resolve issues before moving into mass production. Problems found before mass production can result in less downtime during the correction process, which is less expensive for the supplier than identifying problems later into the production. An FAI inspection company in China seeks to help both the buyer and the supplier by minimizing delays and reducing the risk of wasted, non-conforming products in a manufacturing run.
