When it comes to application performance, the condition of the raw materials from which components and assemblies are made can mean the difference between success and malfunction. Catching nonconformances before manufacturing kicks off may avoid unplanned downtime, recalls, or, worse, complete failure.
Our on-site raw material inspections ensure your product is suitable for use. With support from ISO 9001-certified Quality Liaison Services, you can rest assured that the raw materials you receive will meet the applicable requirements, specifications, and standards.
Common Issues We Solve
Without raw material inspections, quality standards may simply get lost in translation. Sometimes, you may receive shipments with the following issues:
- Materials that do not meet chemical or mechanical requirements
- Lost material traceability
- Substandard material surface condition
- Improper sizes, lengths, or quantities of material
- No evidence of supplemental testing or material validation, when required
- Incorrect or missing paperwork
Third-Party Quality Inspection Services
A key priority for QLS is helping clients maintain product integrity by reducing risks in the production value chain as early as possible. Our third-party quality inspection services are a vital step in that process, helping ensure your supply chain partner understands and meets your specifications.
When utilizing our raw materials inspection services, experienced and knowledgeable inspectors can visit your or your supplier’s site to conduct detailed examinations of raw materials. They send the data using cloud-based tracking software, providing you with immediate visibility of what’s happening on the ground.
