Inspection
Inspection and quality control are important tools in today’s corporate world. A third-party inspection company is a business organization complying with the ISO 17020 standard.
Vendor Inspection
Vendor inspections involve activities carried out at manufacturers’ shops to verify that the material or product being purchased by the client conforms to the specified requirements according to the purchase order, relevant specifications, codes, and standards. These inspections help to remove and minimize the risk of faulty materials being supplied, thereby reducing the risk of financial implications as well as possible safety concerns.

Third-party certification means that an independent organization has reviewed the manufacturing process of a product and has independently determined that the final product complies with specific standards for safety, quality or performance. This review typically includes comprehensive formulation/material reviews, testing and facility inspections. Most certified products bear the certifier’s mark on their packaging to help consumers and other buyers make educated purchasing decisions.
