AQF’s experience in product inspections of cookware and electrical appliances makes us one of the leading QC providers for buyers manufacturing kitchenware in Asia. Whether you require coating thickness testing for your line of enamel skillets or function and safety testing for a food processor you’ve developed, AQF can verify that your supplier is producing goods to meet your standards.
Detailed quality checks of the material and surface coatings, size and weight measurement, ease of assembly, construction strength, components (screws, accessories, etc.), heat distribution and induction (cookware), load capacity, stability and other parameters that are integral to your productAQF auditors have inspected a variety of cookware (cast iron, aluminum, enamel) and electrical appliances (fans, refrigerators, heat lamps). Each of these products requires an acute attention to detail, as well as specific inspection protocols in order to verify all of the major safety and functionality standards.
AQF auditors check each piece of cookware for base convexity, coating thicknesses, and temperature shock performance.
During electrical appliance inspections, wiring is scrutinized for any exposure or incorrect connections, and main functions and settings are verified.If you manage a brand, retail operation, or have clients that are relying on you to provide a quality product in every shipment then do not settle for inspection companies who use untrained and underpaid local inspectors.
AQF QA teams are trained and our inspectors often have an engineering background. We’ll make sure you have the right team for the job and that your products are getting evaluated carefully and with high regard for product quality.
You guys are quite efficient in making sure that you are in constant communication with our vendors to set up a time and day to have inspections handled... InTouch definitely pushed to make sure that inspections would be done in a timely manner. Any corrective actions that had to take place were executed well before the exit factory date.

Since InTouch does a more detailed inspection than what we had depended on with the factories, the quality of the products has improved. Where before when we might find 25 AQL defects, now it's down to three or four,because the factory knows that we want that cut back and InTouch is going to find it.

InTouch’s auditing reduced the level of risk, whether known or unknown, to our company. From the audit findings provided by InTouch, we were much more equipped to make the correct business decision with regard to an acceptable level of risk. The InTouch audit secured our decision making process.
Jerry Davis
Vice President of Purchasing, MJS Packaging
One of our customers had been through multiple suppliers year after year and had been let down with returns and rejections. With InTouch as our eyes and ears on the ground, we retained that business for 5 years without one single rejection or complaint.
Nick Rivera
Director of Operations, MMI Textiles
The speed that we get the reports is always good. We had an experience with some other inspectors where we had to wait an extra day to get the reports. Getting the report as soon as we can is very important, so we can make a decision and give feedback back to the factory.

Operations and Engineering Manager, Juku Gear
From beginning to end, InTouch is so easy to work with. The inspection report is literally there the next morning when I come into work. It really makes my job easier.
