Shipment Inspection

Shipment inspections assure buyers that the products to be supplied by the seller match the buyer's requirements. Absence of such inspections exposes buyers to expensive risks; such as delayed product launch, loss of consumer confidence, and results in an almost irreparable brand image.

TÜV SÜD PSB's shipment inspection services provide assurance at critical points throughout the entire supply chain, according to the customers' requirements.

Product check programme

TÜV SÜD PSB's product check service is a comprehensive quality assurance and inspection programme for customers' suppliers. TÜV SÜD PSB performs supplier product qualification, audits, due diligence and performance monitoring. This enables alignment between suppliers and customers' requirements. TÜV SÜD PSB will customise a programme to suit customers' needs, leading to improved supplier performance, cost-effective management and supplier compliance to national or international quality and safety standards.

Pre-shipment inspection

This involves the inspection of goods and commodities, for quality, quantity and condition at the suppliers' end, against the required standards. TÜV SÜD PSB's experts are highly skilled in risk mitigation, providing the balance between cost and protection.

Agency inspection scheme

TÜV SÜD PSB is able to perform factory inspections assigned by worldwide certification bodies. Inspections can be performed on factories in Singapore or in Asia Pacific.
