Inspection stages

Quality steps to confirm before order placement

Use these stages as a checklist for RFQ discussion, sample approval, packaging planning, and pre-shipment review.

  1. 01

    Raw material review

    Confirm material expectations and batch requirements before production starts.

  2. 02

    Mold inspection

    Check mold condition and fit before casting to reduce dimensional and surface risks.

  3. 03

    Casting process control

    Monitor casting workflow and visible defects during production.

  4. 04

    Grinding and finishing check

    Review edges, contact surfaces, and buyer-specific finishing requirements.

  5. 05

    Surface treatment inspection

    Check coating or surface finish requirements according to confirmed product specifications.

  6. 06

    Packaging and pre-shipment review

    Inspect packaging method, labels, carton/pallet needs, and shipment-ready condition.

Buyer concerns

Questions to align before production

The right quality plan depends on product application, surface finish, tolerance expectations, testing requirements, packaging, and destination market.

Certifications

Broad certifications are [to be confirmed]. Do not rely on certification names until Chandar provides verified documents with product scope, issuer, date, and publication permission.

Third-party inspection

Third-party inspection support is [to be confirmed]. Buyers should list inspection expectations during RFQ review.

Testing requirements

Food-contact, coating, or market-specific testing requirements should be stated in the RFQ so the factory can confirm feasibility.

Verified document on file

Testing evidence should stay product-scope specific

The current source folder includes one readable SGS test report. The site treats it as a product-scope test document, not a broad factory certification or blanket compliance promise.
