- Manufacturer: [Factory Name], Vietnam.
- Order Number: [Insert PO#]
- Inspection Date: [Insert Date]
- Inspection Location: [Factory Address/Port], Vietnam.
- Sample Size: 300 pcs (Randomly selected from a batch of 5,000 units).
2. Inspection Standards
- Design Specifications: Approved technical drawings and samples.
- International Standards:
- ANSI/BHMA (American National Standards Institute/Builder’s Hardware Manufacturers Association).
- ASTM International (e.g., ASTM B117 for salt spray testing).
- CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) compliance for lead content.
- Client Requirements: Functional, aesthetic, and packaging criteria provided by the buyer.
3. Key Inspection Items & Results
A. Dimensional Accuracy
- Check: Match to approved drawings (tolerance ±0.5mm).
- Result: 298/300 units compliant.
- Defects: 2 units with misaligned screw holes (non-critical, adjusted on-site).
B. Material Analysis
- Check: Metal composition (stainless steel/zinc alloy) and thickness.
- Result: Conforms to ASTM E8 (tensile strength) and supplier’s material certificates.
C. Functional Testing
- Hinges/Drawer Slides:
- Cycle Testing: 20,000 open/close cycles (simulated).
- Result: No deformation or failure; smooth operation.
- Handles/Connectors:
- Load Capacity: 50 lbs static weight test (passed).
D. Surface Finish
- Check: Coating adhesion (cross-cut test), corrosion resistance (48hr salt spray test per ASTM B117).
- Result: No peeling/blistering; minimal corrosion (<5% surface area affected).
E. Packaging & Labeling
- Check: Polybags with anti-rust paper, carton drop test (1.2m height).
- Labels: “Made in Vietnam,” UPC codes, and CA Prop 65 warnings (compliant).
- Result: 100% pass; no damage post-testing.
