Verification

The most expensive document in international trade is the one nobody read.

A certificate is not a guarantee. It is a piece of paper.

Almost everyone buying from China buys on documents. The certificate arrives by email. The standard number is right. The stamp looks fine.

Nobody has set foot in the factory. Nobody has compared that paper against what is going inside the container.

And when something fails — at customs, or two years later in a client’s home — the paper does not answer for it. You do.

The process

Manufacturer selection
We do not work with whoever finds us. We work with whoever we find. We visit plants, compare production lines and rule out almost all of them.
What comes out of itA shortlist of three factories, and in writing the reason we ruled out the rest.
Factory audit
Our team walks into the plant, in Shanghai. Not a subcontracted inspector who emails a PDF: our own people, with names, who know that factory and go back to it.
What comes out of itAn audit report with dated photographs of the line that will build your order.
Certificates cross-checked against the physical product
This is where nearly everything falls apart. A valid certificate may belong to another model, another batch or another cell. We compare it against the unit in front of us.
What comes out of itEvery certificate — CE, IEC 62619, UN 38.3 — tied to the serial number you will receive.
Pre-shipment inspection
Before the container closes. Units, packaging, labelling and customs paperwork all get checked.
What comes out of itA signed inspection report. If something does not add up, the container does not leave.

The proof

If a European inspector asks you three years from now, the answer is in a folder — not in someone’s memory.

We do not verify for free and we do not verify fast. It is the slow part of the business, on purpose.

Tell us which factory and which product. We will tell you what we would look at.
