What should a drinkware QC checklist include?
Include the product specification, approved sample, material requirements, functional tests, appearance criteria, logo and color references, packaging checks, sampling plan, defect classification and required records.
How should a buyer specify a leak test?
Name the product and lid configuration, test method, orientation, duration, sample quantity and pass/fail criteria. A generic “leak-tested” statement is not enough to compare suppliers or batches.
How is vacuum-insulated drinkware evaluated?
Agree the starting conditions, ambient conditions, duration, measurement points, sample quantity and acceptable result for the selected model. Thermal-retention claims should be tied to that defined method.
What does AQL mean in a pre-shipment inspection?
AQL is used with a sampling plan to determine how a lot is evaluated. The buyer should confirm the inspection level, AQL values, defect categories and action for a failed result before production.
Can buyers request third-party inspection?
A third-party inspection can be discussed when required. Confirm the inspection provider, scope, booking responsibility, timing, report recipient and shipment-release authority for the order.
Which certificates or test reports are available?
Availability depends on the selected product, materials, destination market and purchase requirements. Ask for the exact document, issuing party, report scope, sample identity and validity details before relying on it.
How are coating and logo defects controlled?
Approve the finish, color and artwork reference, then define acceptable limits for scratches, dents, color variation, logo position, print clarity and adhesion. The applicable test depends on the decoration method.
What should be approved before bulk production?
Approve the product specification, sample reference, components, finish, artwork, packaging, inspection plan and acceptance criteria. Record who has authority to approve changes.
What happens if inspection identifies a defect?
The supplier and buyer should review the evidence, affected quantity, cause and agreed acceptance criteria, then document the containment, rework, retest, replacement or other resolution required by the purchase agreement.
