Inspection

Inspection is required to validate your products, materials, infrastructure or other assets to required specifications. Usually this entails checks for quality and/or quantity of goods, but could entail a varied scope of work such as sampling, checks on condition, packing, weight, shipping arrangements and more. CWM is a trusted 3rd party independent inspection company, our wide range of services are designed to protect your business interests.

Pre Shipment Inspections for global trade

Inspections are most commonly required when trade takes place, especially global trade where any issues with the products or materials can be costly if not detected early. An inspection from a well-qualified inspection company, such as CWM, will eliminate these risks, providing confidence that the consignment is conforming to the expected requirements.

Inspecting goods for specific regulations

At CWM we take great care to understand the possible risks for the product or material being inspected. This includes understanding any specific rules or regulations for the goods or for the planned country market for the goods. This is so that we can react quickly if and when any issues are discovered.

How does it work

The proces

We agree the full scope of inspection with our client, detailing which checks and/or specification are required for the consignment. We will determine and verify with the client in advance if samples are required for full laboratory testing, or if a standard visual checks or onsite tests are sufficient.

In most cases the inspection is carried out prior to shipping, but it can take place during any stage of the supply chain; during production, in storage, when the consignment is being loaded for shipping or discharged at destination, or even in the market place.
