Final Random Inspection (FRI) - Perfection in Every Shipment

At Integrated Inspection and Technical Services (IITS), our Final Random Inspection (FRI) service is a pivotal step in guaranteeing that your products meet the highest standards before they leave the manufacturing facility. FRI is conducted when production is 100% complete and at least 80% of the goods are packed, offering a snapshot of the entire order.

Key Components of FRI

Random Sampling: Our skilled inspectors use statistically sound sampling methods to select a representative sample of the products from the entire batch. This randomness ensures an unbiased assessment of the overall quality.

Visual Inspection: A meticulous visual examination is carried out to identify any defects, deviations from specifications, or other issues that may compromise the quality of the products. This includes checking for color consistency, stitching quality, labeling accuracy, and more.

Functionality Testing: Depending on the nature of the products, functional tests are conducted to ensure that they meet the intended purpose and operate as expected. This could involve testing buttons, zippers, electronics, or any other functional components.

Measurement Checks: Precise measurements are taken to verify that the products conform to the specified dimensions. This is particularly crucial for products where size accuracy is critical.

Packaging Inspection: The packaging is scrutinized to confirm that it meets the required standards and safeguards the products during transit. We check for proper labeling, barcoding, and any potential issues that could arise during shipping.

Benefits of Final Random Inspection

Consistency Across Samples: Uniformity across the randomly selected samples is a positive sign, indicating a consistent production process.

Minimal Defects: A low incidence of defects in the sampled products is indicative of high-quality manufacturing and adherence to specifications.

Accurate Labeling: Correct labeling and packaging demonstrate attention to detail and compliance with branding and regulatory requirements.

Functionality Confirmation: Products that pass functional tests confirm their fitness for purpose, ensuring customer satisfaction.

Compliance with Standards: Successful FRI indicates that the production aligns with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
