TUV Certification Factory Inspection
Initial Factory Inspection
Before the factory inspection, the factory needs to prepare the following documents:
1. Company organizational chart;
2. Quality control flowchart;
3. The position, responsibilities, and work status of the quality department within the factory;
4. Personnel information (training plans and records for QC personnel and key workstations, appointment letters, special process operation qualification certificates, etc.);
5. Relevant documents for incoming material inspection, in-process inspection, and finished product shipment inspection, such as inspection specifications, work instructions, etc.;
--Inspection conditions (environment, equipment, metrology/calibration status, personnel);
--Storage and labeling of items to be inspected, qualified products, and defective products;
--Implementation of incoming material inspection (work instructions: including sampling standards, AQL level, inspection methods and judgment criteria; personnel operating capabilities, test records, judgment and release, etc.);
--Sampling inspection before shipment (final inspection);
--Work instructions for sampling inspection (sampling standards: AQL level and inspection methods); --Spot check records;
--Supplier audit (audit records);
At that time, TUV engineers will inspect the documents and conduct on-site inspections and communicate with your company.
Annual Factory Inspection
The documents required for the annual factory inspection and the inspection process are basically the same as the initial factory inspection. However, the annual factory inspection must include a product conformity check. The factory must submit the documents required for the conformity check. Specific requirements can be found in the Factory Inspection User Manual.
TUV Certification Cycle
The standard time is 2-3 weeks. Expedited service is available for an additional fee.
