Eyewear Quality Control Inspection
Our range of eyewear inspections is based on over four decades of industry and technical expertise. From first-article inspections to container loading supervision, our eyewear inspections cover the entire manufacturing process. We identify quality defects and verify that product quality matches our clients’ specifications and expectations. The most common quality defects found during eyewear inspections are often related to colors, head fitting measurement, nose pads, lens power, lens surface cosmetics, mounting, corrosion, component strength, functions, packaging, and incorrect labeling.
Environmental Compliance
Environmental compliance aids to protect nature and preventing harm to human and animal health in the process. It also provides competitive advantages to organizations complying with environmental standards. We help companies improve their environmental management system, prepare for a certification, or verify the environmental compliance of their supply chain, with ISO 14001 audits and consulting services.

Social Compliance
Recent tragedies have highlighted the ethical issues at the start of many supply chains. In response, consumers are demanding evidence that workers’ rights are respected. Many brands don’t own manufacturing facilities, so setting standards for working conditions can be difficult without an anchored presence on the ground. Companies are turning to their global supply chain partners to help them establish social compliance. With over 40 years of auditing experience, Pro QC helps the eyewear industry ensure the compliance of its global supply chain with social and ethical audits. Several auditable standards apply to the eyewear industry, including SA8000, SMETA, and BSCI.
