How do we control quality?

Depending of your suppliers and the type of products you are buying, you need to decide how many samples you need us to inspect from your order.

More samples we inspect:
 

	Lower is your risk of taking the wrong decision to reject or accept the production
	Higher is the inspection cost

This is why you should decide the right size of the sampling according to AQL Standard and according to your knowledge about and confidence in your supplier.

How to choose your requested quality level?

While filling your inspection request form, you will have to choose the inspection level you want us to use to conduct your inspection. This information will help us to define the sampling size we are going to check. There are seven different inspection levels (three general inspection levels, and 4 special inspection levels), and each one must be used in a specific situation and will define a different sampling size.

Usually special level (S1, S2, S3 and S4) are used in case of small sampling size, or when the risk taken can be low. Examples for those inspection levels are destructive, expensive or time consuming inspection or in case of repetitive process industry (screw, stamping, welding, etc...).

Choosing the inspection level can have some wide consequences on the inspection and many elements must be taken in consideration, such as: 
 

	The production process knowledge
	The technical properties of the goods to inspect
	The buyer risk
	The supplier risk
	The cost of the test, in terms of time, money and product destruction
	The defects characteristics: what is minor, major and critical defect.

General inspection level II is mostly used as reference inspection level, and we'll use it here as a "default inspection level". You'll be able to modify this and to choose a more adapted option by filling in the inspection request form.
