01 / Production inspection
Inspection throughout production
Our QC department is separate from production. Inspection follows product requirements, approved specifications and agreed order criteria, with checks at incoming, production, finished product and dispatch stages.
01 / IQC
Incoming inspection
Incoming checks cover material grade or composition, dimensions, threads and key component function or sealing. The inspection items and sampling scope depend on the supplied material or component.
02 / IPQC
First article and process checks
We confirm first articles and carry out routine process inspections. These checks assess relevant dimensions and fit during production, and we retain the inspection records.
03 / FQC
Finished product checks
We inspect finished products for appearance and sealing. Sealing checks mainly use sampling, with coverage arranged for the product and confirmed order.
04 / OQC
Checks before shipment
We check the products and packing against the confirmed order before dispatch. This provides a final check that the shipment matches the agreed specifications.
02 / Testing at the factory
Testing capabilities and
inspection coverage
Our factory can perform sealing, flow, durability and salt spray checks. We select tests for product development, changes, production batches or order requirements rather than applying the same test program to every unit.
Factory test stations
Operation and durability equipment
Salt spray test chambers
Sealing checks
We check sealing performance under conditions selected for the product. Test methods, inspection coverage and acceptance criteria follow the model and order requirements.
Flow testing
We measure water flow for selected products against the applicable requirements. Flow settings and test conditions depend on the model and confirmed product configuration.
Operation and durability
Our test equipment checks repeated handle or cartridge operation. Test cycles and assessment requirements depend on the product, development task or confirmed order requirements.
Salt spray testing
Salt spray testing assesses surface corrosion resistance under specified test conditions. The test method and duration depend on the finish and applicable product requirements.
We periodically calibrate or verify measuring tools, pressure gauges and testing equipment, and keep the relevant records.
03 / Finish acceptance
Finish checks against approved samples
Specialist partner factories carry out PVD and electroplating. Our QC team checks returned parts against approved color samples and agreed requirements before further production or shipment.
04 / Records and corrective action
Batch traceability and defect handling
Order and batch records connect production with key materials, components and inspection records. When an issue needs review, these references help identify affected batches and support the investigation.
01
Isolate and hold
02
Investigate the cause
03
Correct the issue
04
Reinspect before release
We isolate nonconforming batches and suspend release while we investigate, correct the issue and reinspect.
05 / Certification scope
Product certification
depends on the model
Certification scope varies by model, configuration and destination market. Share your product and market requirements so our sales team can identify the relevant certification documents.
