Product inspection services are a good quality control tool to ensure that product appearance, functionality and other criteria comply with the strictest requirements. As a third-party quality control inspection company in Thailand, Pro QC International offers product inspections at various stages of the manufacturing process to assess the quality of the goods. Our quality inspectors in Thailand are trained and experienced in dealing with a variety of medical devices, consumer products (textile, food, furniture, bags, footwear, jewelry, eyewear, paper products), industrial products (electrical tools, furniture, electronics, mechanical parts) and much more. We provide the following third-party inspection services in Thailand:
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 the specifications. This process ensures that specifications are well understood, verified and documented.
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 meet all requirements.
Performing pre-shipment inspection services in Thailand helps reduce the risk associated with receiving defective products before shipping the goods. Our quality inspectors provide detailed feedback and images to document any non-conformity as part of our comprehensive inspection reports.
During the inspections, our quality control engineers would generally employ metrics such as ANSI Z1.4 sampling plan standards to evaluate workmanship, functionality, packaging, labeling and other criteria as required.
Pro QC reviews and checks against existing client specifications but we can also assist in the development of criteria if necessary. Our engineers use Pro QC’s report forms with relevant checkpoints for the product/part being inspected. Alternatively, we can work with checklists/report formats provided by our clients. Reports including images will always be available online within 24 hours of completion of the service.
At the end of the supply chain, we offer container loading supervision at the factory or at major ports to ensure safe transportation and delivery of the goods to their final destination. This quality control point supervises the loading process and involves monitoring the quantity of the packed goods, checking the storage and condition of the container before and after closure and whether the goods are correctly handled/placed into the shipping containers.
Major ports where we conduct container loading supervision in Thailand are:
Our rework and quality sorting services in Thailand involve inspecting and categorizing products or materials based on specific criteria such as appearance, functionality, or compliance with industry standards. These services can be used in a variety of industries including manufacturing, retail, and food production. They are often used to ensure that only high-quality products are shipped to customers, to separate defective items for repair or disposal, or to comply with regulations and industry standards.
Welding inspection services involve evaluating the quality of welds in order to ensure that they meet industry standards and specifications. This can include visual inspections, non-destructive testing, and destructive testing. Our welding inspection services in Thailand are typically performed by certified welding inspectors who have the necessary training and experience to evaluate the quality of welds. The inspections are conducted to ensure that the welds are free of defects, have proper penetration, have the correct shape, and have the correct size.

Pro QC International performs various types of supplier and factory audits in Thailand. Whether it’s a social compliance audit, a factory verification audit, a manufacturing process audit, a quality management system audit or a C-TPAT audit, our qualified staff is up to the task of providing full insight into the supplier’s setup and operations. A small investment upfront in a factory audit in Thailand can significantly reduce the issues down the road when projects have started and problems may surface.
At Pro QC, we also work closely with clients and their suppliers to improve their systems, processes and manufacturing capabilities. Below are examples for reference:
Our Supplier Verification audits are designed to verify the reliability and capabilities of new suppliers. The audit process includes a review of the supplier’s policies, procedures, and records, as well as the supplier’s management system, processes, and facilities. The audit report will provide a clear understanding of the supplier’s compliance and also identify the risk level.
Our ISO supplier audit services in Thailand involve evaluating supplier compliance with ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards and guidelines. These audits are conducted by our team of experienced third-party auditors. The purpose of an ISO supplier audit in Thailand is to assess the supplier’s management systems, processes, and facilities to ensure they meet the requirements of the relevant ISO standard.
This includes evaluating the supplier’s quality management system, environmental management system, or other management systems. Our auditors will also review the supplier’s documentation, procedures, and records to ensure they meet the requirements of each standard. The audit report will provide a clear understanding of the supplier’s compliance and also identify any areas where improvements are needed. Our ISO supplier audit services in Thailand cover:
Pro QC offers automotive supplier audits in Thailand such as IATF 16949 audits, VDA 6.3 Process Audits, and PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) audits.
Pro QC verifies supplier compliance in Thailand with social and labor standards, including environmental, health and safety, and human rights. One of the most widely recognized social compliance audit standards is SA8000, which is a set of guidelines that focus on the company’s labor practices and workplace conditions.
Our SA8000 audits in Thailand cover standards such as child labor, forced labor, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, and compensation. Our social compliance auditor will review the company’s policies, procedures, and records to ensure they meet the requirements of the standard.
Our C-TPAT audit services in Thailand include a review of the company’s security policies and procedures, physical security measures, and supply chain security practices. The C-TPAT audit evaluates the company’s security measures in various areas including access controls, personnel security, training, physical security, information security and emergency response plans. Once the audit is complete, a detailed report will be issued identifying any non-conformances and recommendations for improvement.
We assist to ensure compliance before the final audit. Applicable industry standards include IATF 16949, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, etc.
At Pro QC, we understand the criticality of product quality. We offer first-article, in-process and pre-shipment inspections to identify quality problems at each stage of production. Our product quality offerings also include sorting or rework service along with functional and performance testing at our labs in Ningbo, China and Monterrey, Mexico.
Supplier audits provide visibility into the supplier’s management system, processes, and products. These assessments are essential to ensure supplier qualifications and capabilities as well as their compliance with the standards required for each industry or jurisdiction. Our services also include pre-audits, corrective action plans or formal audit preparation.
Our Supplier Management solution is for suppliers that fail to meet quality or performance objectives. We first identify the root cause of the quality issues and then produce a corrective action plan. Implementation of the corrective actions and conducting regular on-site reviews will ensure each supplier achieves sustainable improvement and meets or exceeds expectations.
Pro QC ensures suppliers comply with mandatory compliance terms set by major international retailers. International retail standards usually include a responsible sourcing & vendor code of conduct. We develop and monitor corrective action and preventative action plans and regularly follow up with suppliers for retailers such as Walmart, Lowe’s and many more.

New product development lays the foundation for strategic sourcing. Prototyping is crucial to validate that the supplier understands the client’s requirements. Pro QC inspections validate the new parts while our supplier development services align quality expectations with suppliers and strengthen their ability to meet quality requirements and reduce time to market.

Once the component specifications are defined, the procurement department identifies a list of suitable suppliers that can potentially meet their capability, cost, capacity, and quality requirements. Pro QC offers a range of supplier due diligence and supplier evaluation support. Our experts visit suppliers to assess their capabilities, mitigate the risk of scams, overpromises, and miscommunication, and validate their credentials, trustworthiness, and financial stability. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: Supplier Quality Audits QHSE Audits ESG Audits Onsite Supplier Verification Financial Credit Check Supplier Risks & Challenges: Lack of experience and due diligence in new supplier region Communication challenges Concern about supplier scams Low confidence supplier’s trustworthiness Concerns over supplier’s financial viability
A world-class organization usually has a comprehensive supplier qualification program to identify and mitigate the risks associated with quality, safety, on-time delivery, cost, and compliance. Pro QC establishes a global audit program to systematically onboard new suppliers, categorize their risk levels, and establish a reaction plan based on the supplier’s performance on quality systems, environmental management, and social and ethical compliance. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: Global Supplier Audit Programs Supplier Quality Audit for Potential Suppliers Quality Management System Audit Social & Ethical Audits Supply Chain Security Audit Environmental Audit Supplier Risks & Challenges: Suppliers are not as capable as they initially claimed Supplier lacks effective and systematic quality assurance practice Supplier is ISO 9001 certified, but the underlying principles are not implemented in practice Mass production quality does not match prototype quality Buyers want to sell to big retailers, but their suppliers do not yet comply with the retailer’s supplier code of conduct Supplier violation on labor law, ethical and environmental compliances Goods held in customs due to supply chain security malpractice
Before commencing volume production, it is crucial to validate that the equipment, staffing, production methods, capacity, and quality control plan are in place for each product line. Pro QC offers on-site quality support to prevent and reduce the potential cost of poor quality (COPQ) and risk, ensuring a smooth transition from product development to mass production. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: Engineering Build (EB) and Quality Build (QB) Audit First Article Inspection (FAI) APQP/PPAP Audit Manufacturing Process Audit or VDA 6.3 Process Audit Resident Supplier Quality Resourcing Supplier Risks & Challenges: Factory not ready for mass production Shipment delays due to critical failure, poor quality, and resource constraints An exponential increase in defective products Product recall High Cost of Poor Quality An exponential increase in the cost of change after mass production commences

This minimizes the risks of delays from ineffective procurement planning, staff shortages, or sub-supplier mismanagement. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: Order Expediting Resident Supplier Quality Resourcing Supplier Risks & Challenges: Production delay due to poor material procurement planning Production delay due to inadequate production staffing Poor sub-supplier management
Incoming inspection reflects a factory's commitment to quality control from the outset. Understanding how a factory manages its incoming material and its supply chain is a very good indication of its commitment to quality. Pro QC quality solutions address issues such as defect acceptance, material substitutions, and component decay due to poor practices or storage conditions. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: Incoming Inspection In-Process Inspection Manufacturing Process Audit or VDA 6.3 Process Audit Supplier Risks & Challenges: The factory does not manage the quality of its supply chain or is poor at supplier management Suppliers turn a blind eye to defective components during incoming and still use them for production and assembly Using sub-standard material or components (e.g., lower-quality fabric than required) Substituting lower-cost alternatives for product components (e.g., cheaper electronic components in a mobile phone) “Quality fade” where suppliers make small, gradual substitutions in materials and components over time Bulk material ordered by the supplier degrades over time due to poor storage conditions
Many things can go wrong during mass production due to machine failure, lack of process control, and operator mistakes. While it is normal for defects to occur, these defects must be detected and contained. Pro QC offers a range of support to verify control plan adherence, early defect detection, quality improvement, and issue resolution through monitoring, investigations, and CAPA validation. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: First Article Inspection (FAI) In-Process Inspection Manufacturing Process Improvement Quality/Root Cause Investigation (8D) CAPA Verification Order Expediting End-Of-Line Testing & inspection Resident Supplier Quality Resourcing Supplier Risks & Challenges: Operators are not producing according to the production control plan Supplier is under pressure to ship goods, turning a blind eye to defective components Lack of quality staff to enforce quality control Poor control of re-worked material/product Mistakes made by temporary, untrained staff/operators Communication breakdown when the supplier is under pressure
The smallest aesthetic defect on the packaging or missing components can lead to customer returns, while a misplaced label may result in compliance issues. Outgoing Quality Control is the last line of defense before products are properly loaded into containers for shipment. Pro QC offers pre-shipment inspections and end-of-line testing to ensure your products meet your quality requirements and reduce the chance of returns or re-work.
