Quality Control Services in Vietnam

Product Inspection in Vietnam

The frontline of the battle for quality is at key stages in the production process. Pro QC’s product inspection services can be incorporated to evaluate product quality and determine conformity with specifications. We provide peace of mind by verifying whether expectations will be met. Our inspections services in Vietnam 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 Inspection

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

Sorting & Rework

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 your supplier’s site, or at your location.

Quality inspectors use Pro QC’s standard report forms, or we can use those provided by the client. Service reports with detailed photos are provided, and all information available online within 24 hours of completion.

Container Loading Supervision

At the end of the supply chain, we offer container loading supervision at the factory or majors ports to ensure safe transportation and delivery of the goods to their destination. This quality control point involves supervising the loading process, 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 supervisions in Vietnam include:

• Saigon port
• Hai Phong port
• Da Nang port
