Frequently asked questions
Should I inspect every unit or a sample?
That depends on order size and risk tolerance. If sampling, agree the method, acceptable variation and remedy for units outside the specification.
Are listing photos enough for inspection?
No. Photos help with appearance, but device identity, locks, parts, battery and functions need separate confirmation.
When should the checklist be approved?
Approve the current inspection record and commercial terms before payment or order acceptance.
