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.

The product development life cycle begins with idea generation, concept development, and market testing. For example, the E-Bike handlebar is designed with the form, fit, and function in mind that best serve the market/user’s requirements and the overall aesthetics of the final bike. Although Pro QC do not actively get involved in this stage, a postmortem investigation with many of our client often reveals the following challenges. Supplier Risks & Challenges: Misalignment between the buyer, supplier sales department, and factory production department on critical design requirements Advance product quality planning was not factored in early enough Difficulties in transitioning from a prototype supplier to a mass manufacturing supplier
In this stage, the engineers will refine the design and define the engineering specifications of the handle such as material properties, dimensions, weight, and other requirements while satisfying different product and safety compliances. This is also the stage where engineering prototypes (engineering build) are made to rigorously test the form, fit, and function of the product. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: First Article Inspection (FAI) Supplier Development Services Resident Supplier Quality Resourcing Supplier Risks & Challenges: Poor communication of the technical details between buyer and factories Misalignment on the new product’s specifications Misalignment on design/engineering revisions
Once the component specifications are defined, the procurement department will begin to identify a list of suitable suppliers that can potentially meet their requirements in terms of capabilities, cost, capacity, and quality. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: 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
Once a list of trustworthy suppliers has been identified, an evaluation of supplier reliability is recommended to ensure they can produce at a consistent level of quality. 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’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 the factory’s equipment, staffing, production methods, capacity, and quality control plan for each product line. This is an important stage to prevent critical failures, costly mistakes, and loss of time due to changes and rework. 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 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
Production planning is an administrative process that involves ensuring that sufficient raw materials, components, staff, and other outsourced processes such as secondary processing are procured to create finished products according to the specified schedule. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: Order Expediting Supplier Risks & Challenges: Production delay due to poor material procurement planning Production delay due to inadequate production staffing Poor sub-supplier management
Incoming quality control is required when all the procured material and components arrive at the factory. This is the first step in controlling the production process and resulting product quality. Understanding how a factory manages its incoming material and its supply chain is a very good indication of its commitment to quality. (The saying goes: Garbage in, garbage out.) 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
Upon approval for volume production, raw materials and components are processed, extruded, forged, cast, injected, machined, and assembled. It is important to note that a factory may not have all the production capabilities and may outsource certain processes to other suppliers. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: First Article Inspection (FAI) In-Process Inspection Manufacturing Process Improvement Quality/Root Cause Investigation (8D) CAPA Verification Order Expediting & Production Monitoring End-Of-Line Testing & inspection 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
Packaging and labeling of the goods are the last steps before shipping. The smallest aesthetic defect on the packaging or missing components often leads to customer returns, and a misplaced label often leads to compliance issues. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: Manufacturing Process Audit Poka-Yoke Implementation Pre-Shipment Inspection End-Of-Line Testing & inspection Supplier Risks & Challenges: Products are poorly packaged Human mistakes and missing components lead to customer returns Wrong labeling leads to compliance issues and significant re-work
Packaged products are being loaded by suppliers at the factory or warehouse into containers and shipped to their final destination. Pro QC’s Quality Solutions: Container Loading Supervision C-TPAT Audit Supplier Risks & Challenges: Rough handling of goods during container loading by the factory or outsourced warehouse, leading to damaged product Poor container loading leads to product damage during transit
