Pre-Production (PPI)

Pre-production inspections are conducted by importers before production begins. Their primary purpose is to make sure that a factory is ready to start production. In order to ensure that the factory’s raw materials, accessories, and components match specifications, the third-party inspector may inspect the factory’s production line, equipment, and facilities. If your current supplier has had problems maintaining raw material quality, or if your new supplier is unable to meet critical delivery dates, you may want to consider pre-production inspections.
