Confirm the inspection scope
List purchase order, SKU codes, quantities, approved samples, artwork revisions and the lot or cartons available for inspection.
Check product identity and appearance
Compare code, color direction, dimensions, finish and obvious defects against the approved reference and written criteria.
Verify quantity and packaging
Review selling-unit count or weight, seal, label, barcode, inner protection, carton quantity and carton marks.
Record findings and disposition
Use photographs and counts to describe issues. State whether the lot is accepted, requires rework or needs buyer review before shipment.
Inspection sampling and acceptance rules should be agreed for the order. Operational inspection does not replace required laboratory testing.
