Initial Production Check

An Initial Production Check is an Inspection of all machinery and materials to be used for your order and the first production run. It is also the suggested time for appropriate Lab Tests on the raw materials to be used in your production.

Ensure the factory's machinery can meet your production capacity and quality needs, while guaranteeing the actual materials to be used in production are the materials agreed to.

You will receive a detailed report the same day informing if the Inspection passed or failed.* Download a free sample report.

What is an Initial Production Check (IPC)?

An Initial Production Check is an on-site Product Inspection performed before your production begins, up until 10% has been completed. A preliminary inspection of all machinery and materials to be used in your production, an IPC is the first step in ensuring the quality of your product will be consistent throughout production. An IPC is an early-warning system that safeguards your product against costly import risks for $288 USD.

For all inspections, AsiaInspection uses the standard internationally recognized ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 (ISO 2859-1) statistical sampling procedure.
