Contracted Inspection

The service of contracted inspection is made available to buyers or sellers who wish to have a commodity inspected and certified against the specifications of a contract. Contracted inspection is available for all product types. It is conducted upon the request of a buyer, seller, or any other person who requires the quality of a commodity to be verified.

Sellers apply for a contracted inspection by submitting a purchase order, a letter of credit and other relevant documents to a local inspection agency. If the scope of the contracted inspection is not clearly specified, the inspection agency may suggest appropriate specifications. The inspection will not be performed unless the applicant agrees to the proposed specifications.

Based on the properties of the commodity, contracted inspection is conducted in one of the following way:
1.Inspecting samples of finished products.
2.Inspection of the production process, including reviewing the production plan, examining raw materials and in-process products, and checking relevant records.
