Wholesale China Finished Product Inspection Report Factories Pricelist – Inflatable toys inspection – EC

Toys are great companions during children’s growth. There are many types of toys: plush toys, electronic toys, inflatable toys, plastic toys and so many more. An increasing number of countries have initiated relevant laws and regulations to safeguard the healthy development of children. That is why we need to pay special attention when inspecting toys. Here is a summarize of the inspection items and methods of inflatable toys. If you think this might be useful, store it up for later!

1. Check the BOOKING application on-site
After arriving at the factory, we need to clarify on that day the inspection tasks with the person in charge. Then, we must give feedback to the company if we acknowledge any of the following issues:
1) The actual production quantity of goods does not meet the inspection requirements
2) The actual production quantity of goods is not the same as the specified in the order
3) The actual inspection location does not match the one provided during the inspection application
4) Sometimes the factory may mislead the INSPECTOR in terms of the number of sets
2. Drawing the boxes
3. Number of boxes drawn: Final Random Inspection (FRI) generally follows the square root of the total number of boxes, while RE-FRI is the square root of the total number of boxes x2.
4. Check the markings of the outer and inner box
The markings outside and inside the box are really important for the shipment and distribution of products. For example, labels such as “Fragile” can also be a reminder to be careful with the exported products during the process until they reach the consumer. These types of markings should be pointed out in the report.
5. Check whether the outer and inner box proportions and product packaging meet customer requirements. Describe them in detail in the part related to the packaging of the report.
6. Check whether the product, sample and customer information are consistent. Any discrepancies should be taken note of.

Pay attention to:
1) The actual performance of the inflatable toy, whether the accessories are consistent with the color chart of the packaging, the instructions manual, etc.
