1
Define the controlling specification
Identify the approved dimensions, artwork, material, construction, accessories, documentation, operating assumptions, and packaging.
Inspection Planning
Define Quality in the Order Documents
Inspection scope and acceptance evidence vary by product. This page does not claim that every order follows a fixed process or automatically includes specified tests or certificates.
2
Agree on acceptance criteria
State measurable criteria, tolerances, visual expectations, required evidence, and which deviations require buyer approval.
3
Confirm material evidence
Specify which supplier declarations, test reports, samples, color references, or batch records are required for the exact order.
4
Approve artwork and configuration
Use a written approval document and record revisions. A visual rendering alone should not replace the production specification.
5
Plan in-process checks
Decide whether dimensions, printing, seams, reinforcement, components, or other features need documented checks during production.
6
Plan final inspection
Agree on inflation or functional checks, measurement scope, photos or video, accessory verification, and any independent inspection.
7
Handle nonconformity
Define review, correction, reinspection, waiver, replacement, refund, and evidence requirements in the written terms.
8
Approve packing and handoff
Confirm the packing list, labels, packaging evidence, freight handoff, condition reporting, and record retention.
Request a written inspection scope
Confirm the exact product, responsible parties, criteria, evidence, timing, and remedy before approval.
