Sourcing

A Pre-Shipment Inspection, or PSI, is a quality control method to help you ensure the quality of goods you receive from suppliers.

When 100% of the units in your purchase order are complete and they are 80% packed, an inspector goes to your factory to perform a number of different checks on your products.

These inspections are also often referred to as Final Random Inspections (FRI) because a random ion of goods is pulled to inspect. At Insight Quality, we use an industry-standard methodology called Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL) to determine how many units should be inspected.

Once the inspector is finished, a detailed inspection report is sent to you. To download and view a sample inspection report

Packaging & Labeling

Visual Inspection

Physical Requirements & Dimensions

Functional Testing

Special Tests Specific to Your Product

Testing

Other Sections, as Necessary

What Will the Inspector Check?

Pre-Shipment Inspections allow you to mitigate risk. Why take unnecessary risks with your products, your customers, your reputation, and your brand?

By conducting a Pre-Shipment Inspection you can ensure that the products you pay for meet your requirements before you make the final payment. The inspection happens before products are loaded onto containers and leave the factory.

Conducting these inspections can help you avoid unexpected surprises once the goods are received. Some key benefits are that you can:

Ensure your order has been produced to specifications before shipping

Verify quality so that you don’t pay for defective goods

Ensure the safety of your products to avoid health and safety hazards

Avoid product returns that can cost you and hurt your brand image
