(1) Inspection:

 

A. Inspection on incoming raw materials: 
We shall require all raw material suppliers to provide material certificate or quality acknowledgment, and randomly picking up raw material samples to test all kinds of performance.

 

B. Quality control in production process:
The quality control staffs are responsible for the regular monitoring and auditing on the quality of the raw materials, production procedure, manufacturing methods. In order to guarantee the quality of semi-finished products in production process, if any abnormal situation on products is emerging, the quality control staffs shall come up with discrepancy reports and demand the production apartment to correct and improve immediately.

 

C. Inspection on finished products:
Test all the products for diversified chracteristics.

 

D. Shipment Inspection: 
The sampling shall be conducted according to G/T2828 standard on the finished products, to double assure our product quality for achieving the best quality assurance on our finished products.

 

(2) Sampling Scheme:

 

Select samples from the finished products of pipes, fittings, and valves made from same lot of raw material, dosage and production procedure as a group, For DN≤30mm,the sampling quantity of each group should contain not over 20,000 pcs, for DN＞32mm, the sampling quantity of each group should be not over 5,000 pcs. If the finished product quantity is insufficient in one group after 7 days production, set it as a group. Inspecting the appearance and dimension conforming to GB/T2828 sampling standard, select sufficient quantity (not less than 10pcs per batch) of samples for undertaking the inspection on appearance and dimension and to proceed all of the above-mentioned performance test and characteristics.
