2. Our Product Inspection Services: Comprehensive & Tailored Solutions

Based on the diverse needs of global buyers and the characteristics of different industries, Angelstar Consulting provides a full range of Product Inspection Services, covering the entire production process from raw material procurement to final product shipment. Our inspection services are strictly based on the client’s product specifications, international standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, EN, JIS), and market regulatory requirements (e.g., FDA for the US, CE for the EU, CCC for China), ensuring that every product meets the highest quality and safety standards.

2.1 Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)

Pre-Shipment Inspection is our most popular service, designed to verify the quality, quantity, and conformity of products before they are shipped from the supplier’s factory. This service is usually conducted when 100% of the production is completed and the products are ready for shipment. Our inspectors will conduct on-site inspections in accordance with the pre-agreed inspection plan, including: checking the product appearance, dimensions, functionality, and performance; verifying the quantity of products against the order; inspecting the packaging and labeling to ensure they meet transportation and market requirements; and conducting random sampling tests in accordance with international sampling standards (e.g., AQL 2.5, AQL 4.0). After the inspection, we will issue a detailed inspection report within 24 hours, including photos of the inspection process, test results, and non-conformity descriptions, helping clients make informed decisions on whether to accept the shipment.

2.2 During-Production Inspection (DPI)

During-Production Inspection is conducted when 20-50% of the production is completed, aiming to identify potential quality issues in the early stages of production and take corrective actions in a timely manner. This service is particularly suitable for large-batch orders, complex products, or suppliers with a history of quality problems. Our inspectors will visit the factory to inspect the production process, including: checking the quality of raw materials and components; verifying whether the production process complies with the pre-defined standards and requirements; inspecting the semi-finished products for potential quality defects; and evaluating the supplier’s production capacity and schedule to ensure on-time delivery. By conducting During-Production Inspection, we can help clients avoid mass production of non-conforming products, reduce rework costs, and ensure that the production process is under effective control.

2.3 Initial Production Inspection (IPI)

Initial Production Inspection is conducted before mass production begins, usually when the first batch of samples is produced. This service is designed to verify whether the supplier’s production plan, process, and equipment can meet the client’s product requirements. Our inspectors will inspect the first samples, including their appearance, dimensions, functionality, and materials, and verify whether the supplier’s production process and quality control system are capable of ensuring consistent product quality. We will also provide suggestions for improving the production process and product design if necessary. Initial Production Inspection helps clients eliminate potential risks before mass production, ensuring that the production proceeds smoothly and the final products meet the expected quality standards.

2.4 Raw Material & Component Inspection

Raw material and component quality directly affects the final product quality. Angelstar Consulting provides professional raw material and component inspection services to help clients ensure that the raw materials and components purchased by the supplier meet the required standards and specifications. Our inspectors will conduct on-site or laboratory inspections of raw materials and components, including: testing the chemical composition, physical properties, and mechanical performance of materials; verifying the supplier’s quality certificates and test reports; and conducting sampling inspections to ensure the consistency and reliability of raw materials and components. This service helps clients avoid quality problems caused by inferior raw materials and components, laying a solid foundation for the production of high-quality products.

2.5 Customized Inspection Services

We understand that different clients have different needs and requirements for product inspection. Therefore, Angelstar Consulting provides customized inspection services tailored to the specific needs of each client. Whether it is a special product inspection standard, a unique inspection process, or a specific time requirement, our professional team will work closely with the client to develop a personalized inspection plan, ensuring that the inspection service fully meets the client’s needs. For example, we can provide on-site inspection services during weekends or holidays to meet the urgent shipment needs of clients; we can also conduct specialized tests for specific products, such as safety tests for toys, performance tests for electronic products, and hygiene tests for food contact materials.
