AQF Household Appliances Quality Control Expertise

The complexity of high-tech, energy saving household appliances increases the potential for failure points. Substandard products may cause harm to consumers with negative impacts to supply chain efficiency, revenue, and brand’s reputation. A comprehensive quality control strategy is crucial to ensure household appliances manufactured in China and Asia meet delivery, regulatory and safety requirements, along with the high expectations of end users.  

AQF offers household appliance inspection services at every stage of the supply chain: from sourcing new suppliers, through to in-process quality control, and final shipment. Our expertise extends to a wide range of kitchen, home care, and personal care appliances.

We check the workmanship, specifications, functions, and safety of your household appliances, as well as their compliance with relevant standards such as UL, CE, EMC directive, CCC, and IEC.

Household Appliances Quality Control Approach

 

AQF technical engineers work closely with your team to customize one of our standard household appliances inspection checklists by incorporating the key risks and unique specifications of your product. AQF inspectors verify the quality of mass production based on your Acceptable Quality Limits (AQL), provide an overview of the finished goods’ quality, and identify areas for production that require improvement. We also perform a series of tests and assess compliance with your product’s specifications and reference samples. 

Some tests on household appliances require a controlled environment to ensure compliance with the safety standards and regulatory requirements. AQF inspectors select samples from production lines and forward them to an accredited laboratory for testing.

AQF goes further than the average quality inspection service in China and Asia . We work hand in hand with you and your suppliers to set up, manage and monitor a customized surveillance program. Using our expertise and leading edge online technology, we help you achieve quality and safety objectives and reduce time to market.
