Vietnam Quality Control and Inspection

Product Inspections in Vietnam

Vietnam has become a significant manufacturing hub in recent years, serving as a vital production base for many footwear, apparel, furniture, and electronics companies. Manufacturers in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and other parts of the country have attracted buyers from all over the world with their low labor costs and efficient workers.

When working with suppliers in Vietnam, it is vital to put your own quality control and assurance measures into place. Doing so helps keep the factory accountable so you can prevent quality issues.

Our reliable quality inspectors and auditors can assist you in your quality management efforts. We conduct product quality inspections and factory audits to help you maintain a well-functioning supply chain and keep your customers satisfied.

You can hire us to send our QC professionals to your Vietnamese factory and conduct product inspections at various stages of production.

• Pre-Shipment Inspection (Most Popular)
  Conducted once the factory has finished production and packaged at least 80% of your goods. This inspection verifies that the lot meets your quality standards before it ships overseas.

Supplier Audits in Vietnam

In recent years, many companies have moved a portion of their manufacturing to Vietnam. With higher labor costs in China, tariffs, and supply chain diversification initiatives being put into place, these companies have sought new suppliers.

When considering new suppliers, it is vital to vet them thoroughly and ensure they are the right fit for you as a buyer. A supplier audit allows you to assess a manufacturer and ensure that they are able to meet your needs.

Audits can also be used to ensure ongoing adherence to your requirements and assist you in supplier development. You can hire us to conduct various types of audits in which we assess your manufacturer’s quality management, environmental impact, social responsibility, or anything else that is important to your business.
