China is the largest producer of toys,products exported to all over the world,all developed countries have a large number of imports.But some of toy manufacturers enough to grasp safety quality inspection and management requirements.Therefore, Intertek toy industry magazine reporter as toy export inpection espect have a exchange interview with expert Mr.Liu zhiqing of Intertek Inpection Ministry,as follows:
Intertek magazine :Why the foreign buyers take a point of inpection serviecs? What role inpection can play to the buyer and suppplier? If manufacuturers want to control good quality,inpection can help them?If the inpection passed,the goods have been qualified?
Liu Zhiqing said:the role of buyer:usually as a buyer,you need to purchase goods from the origin across continents,must guarantee their benefit,make sure is for its production quality product.Although mordern communication means make the contact becomes very conveninent,but this cannot replce the buyer in the scene to the product quality monitoring.Depend on the independent testing agency, the concern of product quality will disappear.The product do not meet the requirement in production or befor shipment be found and controlled in time ,you can as a representative of the buyer to follow-up all the related quality procedures.
The benefit for the supplier is obvious.Inspection can reduce return;Inspection services can in all stages of the production process,to avoid delay and ensure can found product defects before the product entered into market as far as possible.The result of delivery failure usually is the products returned to manufacturers,the purchasing agent proposed claim and the manufacturer loss business reputatiion.Inspection service are to help avoid similar situations,which is good help for the manufacturer.In the normal condition, the parties have the provision to stipulate that the shipment inpection issuing certificates and other documents must be provided before pay the full amount fund.Various types of inpection services help manufacturers and distributors to strengthen cooperation,in order to guarantee order form goods and delivering cargo in quality,quantity consistent.
Usually,we can help buyers set the factory and product inspection specifications (check list),with the aim of the praties achieve consistently,more effective to help the parties monitor the production process.We can also provide inspection CIP services, sustainable improves projects,helps the buyer and factory data analysis,is helpful to continuallly improve plant .Strictly speaking,inspection pass not equivalent to the goods is qualified.Inspection is check the gooos according to the requirement of buyers,inspection pass just explain this batch goods reach the buyer///////////////////////////////////////////////////////'s inspection requirement. But it cannot guarantee that the test will not have any problem because the inspection and testing from a different angle,the project is different.Meanwhile this inspection passed,just representative meet one buyer///////////////////////////////////////////////////////'s requirement,does not mean satisfy other customers///////////////////////////////////////////////////////' request.So strictly speaking,inspection pass is not equated the good is qualified,the key is to lood product meet what kind of "standard".
Liu Zhiqing said:Inspectiion from the prodcut development,production process to final delivery,regardless in any stage,can monitor the product from the client///////////////////////////////////////////////////////'s interest.Various stages of testing services include:factory assessment,pre-shipment inspection,production,testing,delivery and supervision of pre-shipment sampling.Above five kinds of inspection is applicable to the toy enterprise.
Intertek magazine:For the type of inspection as you stated above, which kinds of inspection the majority of toy enterprise probably choose in your experience?With your many years of experience in the inspection industry ,do you have any suggestions to give the majority of toy companies?
Liu Zhiqing said:Most toy enterprise will choose to sample test before shipment,because for buyerers、suppliers and inspection personnel this time///////////////////////////////////////////////////////'s test has intuitive and representation,you can see the situation of all the final product.There are some problems in this test way: if found a major problem,it will effect the export of bulk goods.I personally feel that the production tes is helpful to the toy companies,when the first batch of products removed from the pipeline,our inspectors are ready to check out the defect and deviation of quality,and then recommended effective and feasible correct mistake method in production to factory,end up the problem found in the first batch goods and reduce the subsequent risk of problems with the finished product.
Liu Zhiqing:According to the agreemnt between buyers and sellers,achieve together consistently,this is so-called inspection requirement,is similar to our inspection check list.It is not compulsory,may acccording to the different demand of foreign buyers to make the appropriate adjustments.
As for toy enterprise,there is no special inspection requirements,just formulate together according to buyers and sellers.Usually our inspector is clear the safety standards for toys,once found some products do not meet toy security standard will bring them back to lab for testing,we also can spot tested if the factory have lab and equipment .
The different between test:On-site inspection took a large number of samples,pay more attention to the batch quality of toys;Focus on function and appearance of the toy,when inspection the samples taken actual was the workers production,which can more representative the factory///////////////////////////////////////////////////////'s real quality level;Long-term large quantities of on-site inspection,test data,which is the important basis of a factory management level.
Liu Zhiqing:Yes,this is the AQL sampling standard.ANSI / ASQC Z1.4 / MIL-STD-105E / BS 6001 / ISO 2859 is a theory based on mathematical probability of a random sampling method,calculated the sampling quantity according to the total amount,also provided a standard about different cargo accepted or rejected the unqualified product.This principles is the notary///////////////////////////////////////////////////////'s assesment of product quality both for the buyers or the sellers.
