What is the difference between pre-shipment inspection and final random inspection?

Pre-shipment inspection (PSI) and Final Random Inspection (FRI) refer to the same type of quality check — a third-party inspection performed on 100% completed, packaged goods before they leave the factory for shipment. The terms are interchangeable. QIV Global conducts both PSI and FRI using AQL statistical sampling per ISO 2859-1.

What is a factory audit and why is it important?

A factory audit (also called supplier audit or vendor audit) is an on-site assessment of a manufacturer's capabilities, processes, workforce, equipment, and compliance standards. It helps buyers verify that a supplier can produce goods to the required quality, ethical, and legal standards before placing orders. QIV Global conducts factory audits across 50 countries, including China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, Egypt, Kenya, and more.

What is AI inspection and does QIV Global offer AI-powered inspection?

AI inspection (also called inspection by AI or AI-powered quality inspection) refers to the use of artificial intelligence technology to enhance product quality control and inspection processes. QIV Global has developed QIVAI — an AI-powered quality inspection and management platform available at qivai.com and qivglobal.com/clients/qivai. QIVAI uses AI to assist with defect detection, inspection report analysis, AQL sampling decisions, and supplier quality trend monitoring. QIV Global combines on-site human inspectors with AI-enhanced digital tools to deliver faster, more accurate quality inspection results.

How can I ensure quality when sourcing from China?

When sourcing from China, quality can be ensured through a combination of third-party inspection services: (1) Pre-Production Inspection (PPI) — verify raw materials and factory readiness before production begins; (2) During Production Inspection (DUPRO) — check goods at 20-80% completion to catch defects early; (3) Final Random Inspection (FRI) / Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) — inspect 100% finished goods using AQL statistical sampling before shipment. QIV Global provides all of these inspection services across all major manufacturing regions of China including Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, and Shandong.
