Pre-Shipment & Product Specific Inspection

Indotech inspection services ensure product quality throughout your entire consumer goods supply chain with our unrivaled experience in managing all types of inspection program. Independent inspections of your products, at various stages of the product's life cycle, will ensure that the quality of your mass production will match that of samples tested and will help you to identify critical defects before products hit the market.

Conducted when 100% of your goods are produced and at least 80% are packed and ready for dispatch, final random inspections are a range of visual tests that cover:

• Quality — appearance, performance and workmanship
• Quantity verification against purchase order
• Packaging integrity and condition
• Labeling accuracy and compliance
• Transportation and drop checks
• Shipping marks to achieve regulatory compliance (for example bar code checks)

All inspections are conducted by our expert team with in-depth knowledge of the latest inspection techniques and technology. Our consultants can advise on inspections that will help assess the quality of your finished products and prevent problems occurring when importing.

Loading & Unloading Inspection

Indotech loading/unloading inspection services inspect your products prior to shipment and have been developed in response to increasingly global markets, in which businesses sell to, and import supplies from, countries across the world. They aim not only to ensure that those goods being shipped are those that were assessed in final random inspections but also to prevent costly mishandling of goods.

The aim of our container loading supervision service is to ensure that products are loaded and secured correctly, regardless of whether they are to be transported by container, ship or truck. A container loading check may cover:

• Quantity verification against packing list or invoice
• Traceability of products — including verification of production codes, plant numbers and stock numbers
• Verification of external and internal operating conditions of containers
• Cleanliness inspection of trailers or containers for debris, insects and vermin
• Temperature monitoring inspection
• Packaging and labeling checks
• Shipping marks for regulatory compliance (e.g. bar code checks)
• Documentation of any damage observed during loading
• Photographs of packing and loading processes
• Documentation of container, vessel and seal number

As soon as loading has been completed, on client's special request, we seal containers with Indotech seals to reduce the risk of tampering, theft and substitution.

Unloading supervisions include similar checks of container integrity against checklists or invoices, to avoid import disputes and ensure products arrive in the same state in which they were loaded. With our network of highly skilled inspectors, Indotech loading and unloading inspection solutions are an invaluable addition to our supply chain inspections.
