QC (Quality Control / Inspection)

Sourcing & Manufacturing

What does QC (Quality Control / Inspection) mean?

The process of checking products against specifications, usually by a third-party inspection company at the factory before shipment. Inspectors check quantity, appearance, function, packaging and labeling.

Example: You hire QIMA to inspect 20% of your order at the factory — they report photos and defect counts before you authorize shipment.
