Three QC Stages, Eleven Inspectors
Our QC team is 11 people, headed by Ms. Wu Huifang (with us since 2014, previously at a Yiwu sock factory). The system was rebuilt in 2019 after a 2018 batch slipped past us and reached a US buyer with a hangtag mis-print. Lessons paid for in real money - we now run three checkpoints.
Stage 1 - Incoming Material QC
Every roll of fabric and batch of coating tested for color, weight (gsm), thickness and tensile strength on arrival.
Stage 2 - In-Process Inspection
Roaming QC officers spot-check stitching, logo placement and sizing at 25 percent, 50 percent and 75 percent production milestones.
Stage 3 - Final AQL 2.5 Inspection
Pre-shipment inspection at AQL 2.5 standard - major defects below 2.5 percent, minor below 4 percent. Third-party (SGS, BV, ITS) audit welcome.
Active Audits & Cert Numbers
Renewal cycles are tracked in our compliance calendar; ask Daniel if you need a particular cert renewed before your buying decision - sometimes we time the audit to match a key order.
ISO 9001:2015
Quality management system. Cert no. CN23/14802R; SGS-CSTC; renewed Aug 2024.

REACH (Annex XVII) & OEKO-TEX Std 100
Annual SVHC screening. Class II material certs for skin-contact gloves.
Bring Your Own Inspector
About 25-30% of our orders are inspected by a third-party before shipment. SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek and TUV teams all know our address - we will host them and you pay the inspector directly. Buyers using their own staff or freight forwarder QA are equally welcome.
Per-batch test reports
Cut, abrasion, puncture, oil/chemical and tensile data from the lab we use that week (typically SATRA, SGS, or Intertek). PDFs sent before bulk dispatch.
Pre-shipment third-party AQL
Standard sampling per ISO 2859-1. Major / minor / critical AQLs agreed in the PI. We schedule the inspector on your behalf if useful.
Refund / rework policy
Defects above agreed AQL: free rework + reshipment OR pro-rata refund - your choice. Honored 18 times in FY2024-25 on a total of ~1,820 POs.
Want to See the Actual Certs?
Email Daniel and he will send the BSCI report (Sep 2025), the ISO 9001 cert PDF, and per-style EN388/ANSI test reports relevant to your product. No NDA needed - we share them with anyone running a serious sourcing process.
Request Cert BundleQuestions Buyers Ask About Our Quality System
Will you share the actual certificate PDFs?
Yes, no NDA required. We share the ISO 9001 cert (CN23/14802R), the latest BSCI report (Sep 2025, Grade B), and per-style EN388, EN511, ANSI/ISEA 105 and REACH test reports relevant to your product. Email Daniel and he sends the bundle for your specific glove.
What AQL standard do you inspect to?
Final pre-shipment inspection is AQL 2.5 - major defects below 2.5% and minor below 4%, sampled per ISO 2859-1. For medical and disposable lines we tighten the pinhole AQL to 1.5 or stricter. The exact AQL is written into the proforma invoice so there is no ambiguity.
Can I send my own third-party inspector?
Absolutely - about a quarter of our orders are inspected by a third party before shipment. SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek and TUV all know our address. You book and pay the inspector directly and we host them; buyers using their own QA staff or a forwarder's inspector are equally welcome.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
If defects exceed the AQL agreed in the PI, you choose: free rework and reshipment, or a pro-rata refund. We honoured that policy 18 times across roughly 1,820 POs in FY2024-25. The point of catching it at our gate is that a defect found here costs far less than one found at your DC.
Do you handle REACH and EU chemical compliance?
Yes. We run annual REACH SVHC screening, hold OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class II certs for skin-contact gloves, and prepare the Declaration of Conformity and EN test reports EU customs ask for. Tell us the destination market early so we pick compliant materials and decoration from the start.
