Factory Audits
API Auditors will perform an audit to determine if the factory meets acceptable standards in areas such as Social Compliance (Health & Safety, Employment Ethics), Technical Competence and Quality Assurance Systems. |
 |
Initial Production Check (IPC)
The IPC takes place at the very beginning of the production process. The inspection will mostly focus on the procurement of raw material and components to assess their quality, quantity and also origin if it is a critical issue. The first run of finishe product will also be inspected to detect any deviation and thus allow remedial action to be taken very early in the production process. |
 |
During Production Check :
(DUPRO)
The production line is inspected when at least 25% of the order has been completed. The DUPRO verifies that initial discrepancies found out during the IPC have been rectified. Each stage of the assembly process will be analyzed and samples of the goods in progress will be taken for checking. Therefore, any impending problem can be identified on-site and addressed at the very stage where it is occurring. |
 |
Final Random Inspections (FRI)
An FRI is basically an acceptance sampling inspection performed prior to shipment on
a lot of completed goods. The Sampling is derived from the inspection level requested
in accordance with MIL-STD-105E (ISO2859-1). The sampled goods are then checked
piece by piece and the nonconformities found, if any, will be classified into three categories (critical, major and minor). The selection of an AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) per type of non conformities will determine the acceptance or rejection of the goods. |
