Quality Control for Bags and Luggage
Quality control services for bags and luggage are essential in order to ensure that these products meet the highest standards of quality. By conducting thorough inspections at every stage of production – from raw materials to finished products – quality control teams can identify and correct any issues before they become costly errors. This not only protects consumers from receiving defective or unsafe products but also helps companies avoid costly recalls and other reputation-damaging issues. Bags and luggage go through a lot of wear and tear during their lifetime, so they must be built to last.
Environmental Compliance
The environmental impacts of the bags and luggage industry are predominantly seen in the processes and materials used -for example, the chemicals employed in some tanning processes often find their way into waterways, ponds and fields, causing water and soil pollution. To ensure sustainability up and down their supply chain, companies must audit suppliers, implement ISO 14001 environmental management systems, and take all necessary steps to lessen their footprint. To do this successfully, Pro QC provides ISO 14001 gap analysis audits, assistance with certification plus consulting services.
