When you import goods from overseas, you need them to meet your specifications as accurately as possible. You also need them to meet all health and safety requirements and be acceptable to your customers.

In sampling inspection, samples are taken from a target lot (inspection lot) for examination to determine the acceptability of the lot according to that lot’s quality standards. Thanks to the small number of items to be inspected compared to 100% inspection, manufacturers can save on inspection costs and time. Sampling inspection also allows for the examination of several test items that cannot otherwise be inspected in 100% inspection.

However, sampling inspections do not guarantee the quality of all manufactured products. Therefore, sampling inspections need a system that cuts inspection costs while taking into consideration the manufacturers and consumers’ benefits, while reducing the risk of nonconformity to ensure consistently high quality. This means that the inspection scheme and how the appropriate sample size for the manufacturing process is determined are very important.

Sampling inspection service involves a relatively small number of items from a batch or lot, for a range of specifications such as appearance, workmanship, safety, functions, etc. prior to mass production.
