Guided Imports China Quality Inspection and Control services help buyers stay confident in the decisions they make when manufacturing. Our third-party inspectors provide you with an experienced, western-trained agent to visit your supplier before starting your production to give you a full picture of the supplier and material capabilities.

Guided Imports Pre-Production Inspection Overview

A China pre-production inspection (PPI) occurs before your supplier begins the production. Inspectors will check the supplier’s raw materials, components and count the quantity, ensuring conformity from the beginning.  A China PPI is ideal when working with new suppliers or restarting productions. 

An inspection aims to provide the buyer with unbiased information about the supplier and their capabilities and act as an additional set of eyes and ears for the buyer to make informed decisions. A Chinese PPI inspector can identify defective components or materials; it can eliminate communication issues and identify weaknesses in the production process before it begins.

What We Inspect:

A pre-production inspection in China is a comprehensive check, which reviews the following aspects of production.

  • Material status
  • Material quantity
  • Material condition
  • Factory machinery & condition
  • Factory readiness
  • Measuring & testing equipment

Benefits of Inspecting Before the Production Begins

A China pre-production inspection provides the buyer with a detailed account of the supplier’s ability before the production begins. This inspection helps you understand if the supplier has everything ready for them to start. There are no surprises regarding missing or inferior material or misunderstood product specifications. When possible issues are identified early on, solutions can be made instantly, without affecting the production.

By sending a China PPI inspector to your factory before the production begins, you can avoid potential delays and additional costs caused by mistakes and miscommunication. You will have a clear understanding of the outcome of the production before it begins.

How Pre-Production Inspection Services in China Help You

Buyers often feel the most risk while they are waiting for a production to begin. It is not uncommon for even the most experienced buyers to second guess themselves and question whether they properly communicated their requirements. If this is the first production with a new supplier, it can also be a daunting period due to the immense uncertainty. 

A China PPI gives buyers a clear understanding of whether their supplier is ready to begin the production. Instead of waiting to inspect the products after they have been made, the inspector will seek to identify any potential issues before the production starts and provide you with the means to rectify what was found.

Receive a Detailed Inspection Report

After the completion of your inspection, we will send you a detailed report highlighting our findings. We guarantee you will receive the first draft on the same day of your inspection, allowing you to begin working with your supplier to rectify any issues that may have been found. 

Avoid Costly Mistakes

Neglecting to put eyes on your production from the very beginning could turn out to be a costly mistake. While all suppliers are confident in their abilities, their confidence can’t guarantee your product quality, zero delays, or miscommunication. A PPI is a small investment that can catch potential mistakes early on and ultimately save you time and money.
