• Audit of the test reports of other laboratories about MIL STD or DO 160 tests, for verification of its conformity with the requirements of the applicable standards and requirements of the product.

Pre-shipment inspections

The pre-shipment service checks the consistency between the statement and the goods exported, so that the goods loaded in the container meets the requirements set by the client (for example, with regard to the safety features, quantity, type, workmanship, functionality, color, size, packaging, labeling, size and range of products). After all checks a detailed report is issued.

For purchasing managers, the release of an audit report is an important tool to guarantee the compliance of the batch and also offers an authoritative support for the control activities of the customs authorities. Verification protects both the importing companies, helping them to reduce the risk of fraud and any negligence, both exporting companies, in case of a legal dispute related to goods arriving at their destination damaged or missing parts.
