For Inspections, Pro QC recommends the International Inspection Standard ANSI Z. 1.4-2003 (ANSI Sampling Table) to determine the number of units that will be randomly selected for evaluation. Samples are checked against a detailed inspection plan for appearance, applicable functionality, packaging integrity, workmanship, and your specific requirements. Discovered defects are classified as major, minor, or critical depending on inspection plans. If you have your QC standard and procedure, we have no concern to follow your documentation.
