First Article Sample Inspection (FAI)

First Article Inspection attests that all engineering, design and specification requirements are rightly understood, accounted for, verified, and recorded.

The inspection takes place at factory floor right after the manufacturer starts producing the first mass production samples. A complete, independent, and documented physical and functional inspection process is conducted.

Our inspector, expert in the field, verifies that prescribed production methods have produced a correct item as specified by engineering drawings, planning, purchase order, engineering specifications and requirements and/or other applicable design documents.

The first sample inspection is used as a quality tool for improving and planning the mass production.

The FAI helps you control and organize your production schedule and avoid misunderstandings and misinterpretations, unnecessary reengineering work, delay and costs.

Upon completion of the inspection, the results will be examined thoroughly with relevant factory staff and management to implement all necessary corrective actions so that your production should be carried out smoothly.
Initial Production Check (IPC) also called Pre-Production Inspection (PPI) -( 1 visit)

The initial production check (IPC) is an inspection of all the machinery, raw materials, materials and components to be used for the smooth execution of your order.

Our accredited inspector checks if your factory understands and is capable to meet your requirements as regards quality, production capacity and lead times.

This inspection prior the production  prevents any potential production flaws  and ensures that the materials used are contractual and meet the standards of the countries of destination of the goods.

Our certified inspector, expert in the field, makes sure the manufacturing process is right and helps in taking corrective actions before mass production starts, avoiding unnecessary and costly product re-work in the making of production and lengthening delivery delay.

Lab testing services can be integrated in the IPC for quality insurance on material.

During Production Check (DUPRO) also called During Production Inspection (DPI) or In-process Inspection (1 or 2 visits)

The During Production Inspection usually takes place when at least 20% to 40% of your production is completed.

This inspection covers all the aspects of a quality inspection performed according to AQL standards: workmanship quality, raw materials, product appearance, weight check, size measurements, functionality assortment, accessories, labelling & logos, packaging, packing and other special requirements depending on the product specifications and the export market.

The During Production Inspection also checks the unfinished products and the compliance with the initial planning of production.

Our high-skilled inspector makes recommendations for production's processes and capacity.

During Production Check improves your control over production, permits the timely correction of defects and improvements in quality.

During Production Inspection is ideal for shipments of substantial quantities, product lines with continuous production, strict requirements for on-time shipments, and as a follow-up if poor results were found during the Initial Production Inspection. DPI makes it possible to provide recommendations on site, so that the quality is maintained throughout the entire production process.

Carrying out one or two inspections during the production is recommended when you are working with a new factory in China or making a first time order.

Final Random Inspection (FRI) also called Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI) - (1 visit)

The Final Random Inspection (Pre-shipment Inspection) is the most important. This inspection checks and ensures the conformity of your final production to your initial specifications and international standards. It protects you against the risk of importing non-compliant products.

This inspection takes place when 100% of the production is finished and at least 80% of the goods packed in cartons. Our certified inspector checks in the factory the completed products, the packaging and the packing by sampling according to the AQL method  and your checklist.

Upon completion of the inspection an inspection certificate is issued if all the findings are positive.

If the level of noted defect is higher than the authorized level such as defined in your initial specifications, the entire batch is rejected. In practice a rejected lot will most often be corrected, and a second inspection paid for by the vendor will then be organized by our inspector.

Sunchine International is authorized to delivered an Inspection Certificate that is issued only if all the inspection results are positive.
You can link your payment to your supplier in China with the issuing of the Inspection Certificate.

Ltd. certifying that the goods inspected, conform upon the agreed contractual specifications and/or reference sample."

Container Loading Inspection (CLI) also called Container Loading Check (CLC) or Container Loading Supervision (CLS) - (1 visit)

The container loading inspection takes place when filling the container. This inspection verifies that the goods delivered are compliant in all respects with your specifications (quantities, characteristics and quality) and are packed and loaded safely and securely.

The general state of the container, its process of loading and the installation of the seals are checked by our inspector to ensure you that your container is loaded in its entirety and in all safety.
