Quality & inspection
Verify before it ships, not after it arrives.
Quality problems discovered at destination are expensive and slow to resolve. REPONS coordinates documentation, standards compliance and pre-shipment verification before goods leave the origin market.
01How it works
- 01
Acceptance criteria
What will be checked, and against which standard, is agreed before production.
- 02
Document control
Mill certificates, test reports and conformity documents are collected and reviewed.
- 03
Production checks
Progress and conformity are followed during manufacturing where the scope requires it.
- 04
Pre-shipment inspection
Inspection is coordinated with the buyer's nominated body or an independent agency.
- 05
Release
Goods are released for shipment against the agreed evidence.
02What this means commercially
The buyer manages one relationship.
- Standards confirmed only where they genuinely apply to the item
- Third-party inspection coordinated where the contract requires it
- Documentation assembled before shipment, not chased afterwards
