Types of quality inspection agencies
There are a number of companies providing quality inspection services in China. When evaluating a QC inspection firm, apart from looking at their size, knowledge and experience of the product, Renaud advises to also find out if the inspection agent is focused on reliability.
The "high flexibility, low touch" agency
This type of agent is suitable for hands-off buyers who:
- Need to book an inspection fairly quickly
- Work on simple consumer goods, and are happy to get reports with many photos and little text
- Want to know the inspection cost in advance, in a predictable way
- Do not mind booking the inspections by themselves, every time
The "high reliability, high touch" agency
This type of agency is suitable for hands-on buyers who:
- Value quality over speed
- Work on complex products, or have special requests. They want to work hand-in-hand with a technician who will come up with a suitable solution
- Want to work with a partner company (who takes over certain activities in their organization) over the long term.
