Inspection and Testing Services | Accredify Global
Introduction to Inspection and Testing?
Inspection and testing are critical quality assurance processes that ensure product compliance, safety, and performance before market distribution. These processes help businesses minimize risks, prevent product failures, and maintain regulatory compliance.
With over $1 trillion lost annually due to defective products and recalls, organizations must implement rigorous inspection and testing procedures.
In commercial transactions, many organizations employ the services of inspection agents to ensure the shipment quantity and product quality is in conformity with contractual requirements. The professional inspection operations of Accredify offer strong logistic support to clients when quality issues. All inspections can be carried out to ISO 17020 Requirements as follows :
Initial Production Checks
Accredify inspects the quality of materials, parts and components at the initial stage of production to ascertain conformity with specified requirements. Production samples will be drawn randomly and checked to assure they meet specifications. Valuable data will be generated for continuous improvement in the production process.
In Process Inspections
Accredify steps in again when the production reaches approximately 30% of the quantity manufactured. The objective of this is to ensure that any quality problems previously identified are completely rectified and that the product quality conforms to client requirements.
Final Random Inspection
Upon completion of the production, Accredify inspects against specifications and defect classification. All findings are reported to clients promptly by fax or email before the issuance of the final report.
We are able to carry out inspections of your facilities, equipment and products, and audits of your systems and processes against practically any referential, on a local or worldwide basis. In a number of cases, inspections and audits will ultimately enable us Grant a certification to your organization
Accredify has a unique approach of certification which complies with the requirement for bodies providing Inspection and certification.
