Send someone to my factory china
A practical guide to send someone to my factory china: what to check on site, what a photograph cannot establish, and what to write in your purchase specification.
"Send someone to my factory in China" is the question buyers ask when they want verification but do not want to travel, and do not want to deal with a supplier who might interpret an inspector as an accusation.
What a representative on your behalf does
- Reads your PI, your specification and your approved sample before travelling
- Draws a sample from across the batch, not from the front of the production run
- Checks each sampled unit against your documents — model, quantity, dimensions, materials
- Performs the physical checks that can be performed on site with portable equipment
- Photographs every check, with a scale reference in frame
- Issues a written report within 24 hours, including what could not be verified
how our verification works describes the full process.
What "someone" has to bring
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Calibrated weights to about 150 kg | Residential load tests are 300 lbs / 136 kg. Without weights, load testing cannot be claimed. |
| Moisture meter | Wood moisture content is the single most useful number in solid wood orders. |
| Illuminance meter | Colour judgement at a defined light level, not by eye in a dark warehouse. |
| Grey scale cards | Colour difference has to be measured, not described. |
| Camera with a scale reference | A dimension photo without a reference is unusable. |
Cost and timing

Common questions
What does AQL mean in furniture inspection?
AQL is the Acceptable Quality Limit under ISO 2859-1 — the quality threshold used to accept or reject a sampled lot. It is an input to a decision, not a statement about how good the goods are.
How many units are inspected on a furniture order?
Under ISO 2859-1 general level II, a lot of 501 to 1,200 units is sampled at 80. A lot of 3,201 to 10,000 is sampled at 200. The report states the lot size, sample size and accept/reject numbers.
Can I verify goods without sending anyone to the factory?
Partially. A remote photo review can identify gross problems but cannot establish count, dimensions, materials or physical performance. Those require someone on site.
