What Happens in a Product Inspection?

During an inspection, a GTIC inspector evaluates products at specific production stages using a comprehensive checklist.

This checklist is tailored to the product and the client’s requirements.

Our checks typically assess the following:

  1. Specifications

  2. Dimensions

  3. Function

  4. Appearance

  5. Performance

  6. Workmanship

Packaging and packing are also checked, and product-specific tests are usually conducted. Checks can be tailored to the production stage. For example, inspections carried out at the start of production will include checks of raw materials.

We offer off-the-shelf checklists designed to match particular products. If customized checks are needed, you can add to one of these checklists or create your own.
