Our quality inspections services in Taiwan include:

First Article Inspection

Prior to the start of mass production, our local quality engineers verify that the engineering of the product – drawings, parts, functions and other specific requirements – conform to your specifications. This process ensures that specifications are well understood, verified and documented.

In-Process Inspection

An in-process inspection allows us to detect errors that might lead to a non-conforming product before production is completed. Quality engineers verify that the manufacturing processes are reliable and consistent, and that the products coming off the production line are in accordance with your requirements.

Pre-Shipment Inspections

Performing a pre-shipment inspection helps reduce the risk associated with receiving defective products. Our quality inspectors provide detailed feedback and images to document any non-conformity as part of our comprehensive inspection reports.

During pre-shipment inspections in Taiwan, our quality inspector generally employs metrics such as ANSI Z1.4 sampling to evaluate workmanship, functionality, packaging, labeling, and other criteria as required. We review and check against existing client specifications, and can assist in the development of criteria as necessary.

Pro QC’s network of quality professionals extends to those interested in assisting with short-term rework and/or sort projects ranging in complexity. Our local network is ready to be deployed directly at the supplier or warehouse as required.

Welding Inspections

Our certified welding inspectors ensure that all welds meet the required codes and standards, depending on the application. We assess weld quality, technique, and conformity to drawings and welding procedures using both visual and non-destructive testing methods (VT, PT, MT, UT).

Coating Inspections

We perform coating inspections to verify surface preparation, coating thickness, adhesion, and overall finish quality, ensuring compliance with standards such as SSPC/NACE. These inspections help prevent premature corrosion and ensure long-term performance in critical applications.

Our team supports clients with Factory Acceptance Testing to validate that equipment and systems meet all functional requirements before shipment. We witness and document the FAT process in coordination with your team and supplier, ensuring alignment with technical specifications and contractual obligations.
