A functionality test operates the product to confirm it performs as specified, rather than only checking appearance. Necessary for anything electrical or mechanical, where a unit can look correct and still fail on first use.
Necessary for anything electrical or mechanical, where a unit can look correct and still fail on first use. Working out which service actually fits the problem saves more time than comparing prices does, because the wrong type of engagement costs more than a slightly higher rate.
Inspectors list the regions they cover and the inspection types they perform. A useful inspection starts with a clear checklist: the specification, the acceptable defect levels and the packing requirements, agreed before the visit rather than discussed during it. Reports normally include photographs and a pass or fail against the criteria you set, and payment is released once the report is delivered.
Choose an inspector with experience in your product type, since defect criteria differ sharply between, for example, textiles and electronics. Confirm they can reach the factory location on the dates required, agree the sampling level before the visit, and make sure the report format gives you enough evidence to reject a shipment if it comes to that.
