Incoming inspection

Check received material against the confirmed order

On receipt, we compare the component markings, quantity, packaging and supplied documents with the order. Relevant photographs and observations are recorded, with any discrepancy reviewed before the affected material moves to the next stage of handling or shipment preparation.

Incoming inspection checks the received markings, quantity, packaging and documents against the order. Findings and differences are recorded so the affected material can be reviewed before further handling or shipment.

Keep the findings linked to the received material

Label photographs, packaging observations and quantity checks are retained with the relevant order or material reference. If a question requires further evidence, the record includes what was found and how it was reviewed.

Documents supplied for the order are checked for their connection to the received lot. Questions requiring specialist testing are handled through a separately agreed scope.
