How should a buyer compare inspection companies in China?

Direct answer

Compare inspection companies using the same product brief and the same questions about standards, report contents, scheduling and what is included. This page does not rank companies or name other brands. For China Inspection Pro, reports are delivered within 48 hours after inspection completion. For special or larger orders, we can send a same-day email with preliminary results, followed by the full report within 48 hours after inspection. Sampling follows ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2008 unless otherwise agreed. Every inspection is quoted individually. Contact us for a tailored quote.

Criteria to compare

Ask each company to answer the same brief in writing.

Standards used. Which sampling standard and edition will be used, and can the inspection level and Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL) values be agreed before booking? For China Inspection Pro, sampling follows ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2008, unless another plan is agreed before booking. The default is General Inspection Level II, with AQL Critical 0 / Major 2.5 / Minor 4.0, which you may adjust. An inspection level is not an AQL value.

What is included. What will be checked, sampled or excluded, and is the scope written down before booking? For China Inspection Pro, the assignment, location and scope are agreed before booking. Photographs and measurements are included where applicable. Any checklist, defect-classification or video need should be agreed before booking.

Report contents and timing. What does the report contain, and when is the full report delivered after the visit is completed? For China Inspection Pro, a report records the agreed scope, observations and results. The timing is the 48-hour standard described above, with the same-day preliminary-results email available for special or larger orders.

Scheduling and location. How is a visit date confirmed, and what must be ready on the day? For China Inspection Pro, a preferred date is a planning input, not an automatic reservation. We work in the manufacturing regions we cover. Confirm your factory location when inquiring. Availability and arrangements are confirmed before booking.

Price. What will the quoted amount cover, and what is excluded? For China Inspection Pro, there is no public price list. Every inspection is quoted individually. Contact us for a tailored quote. Compare quotes only when the included work is comparable. This page does not publish years of experience, case studies, or certification claims.
