Quality & Compliance
We turn compliance into your moat
The regulation that scares off DIY importers is exactly what protects your shelf space. We own it, testing, certificates and the sample-vs-bulk check that catches the failures others miss.
The QC system
Four layers, every order
Pre-production
Materials and components checked before the line runs.
During production
Catches drift early, before a whole batch goes wrong.
Pre-shipment
AQL 2.5 sampling against your golden sample.
Container loading
Count, condition and load verified at the door.
The gold-sample vs bulk check
The #1 hidden failure in importing is bulk not matching the approved sample, material swaps, process drift. We hold a sealed golden sample and re-test against it. This single step is worth more than any certificate.
Independent lab partners: SGS · Intertek · Bureau Veritas · QIMA · V-Trust (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited). Audit reports available on request.
Compliance matrix
By requirement, by market
A plastic product can be anything so we map the exact regime to what your part is and where it sells.
| Requirement | USA | EU / UK | Other |
|---|---|---|---|
| Food contact | FDA 21 CFR | EU 10/2011, LFGB (+ migration testing) | China GB 4806, BPA-free |
| Chemical & hazardous | Prop 65 | REACH (SVHC) | Heavy metals, phthalates |
| Electrical / electronic | UL94 flammability | RoHS | CE / UKCA |
| Children's products | CPSIA + CPC | EN 71, CE / UKCA | ISO 8124 |
| Packaging & ESG | State EPR (SB 54) | PPWR, UK Plastic Packaging Tax | PCR content, GRS |
What we check
Nothing slips through
Function & material
- • Dimensional check on a CMM against the drawing
- • Fit, snap, torque and assembly testing
- • Material & grade verification, moisture control
- • Defect screening (sink, flash, weld line, warp)
Appearance & dimensions
- • Colour, finish and surface against the golden sample
- • Dimensional check on a CMM and gauges
- • Logo, print and packaging accuracy
- • Carton count, labels and barcodes
Zero tolerance, any unit fails the lot.
AQL 2.5, tight limit on functional faults.
AQL 4.0, cosmetic, controlled by sample.
In-house lab
We test before we ship
Our own lab catches problems on the floor, long before a third-party inspector or a customs officer ever sees the goods.
Why it matters
Compliance is cheaper than a recall
A part can be seized at customs, rejected by a retailer, or trigger a recall, purely on paperwork. We supply pre-tested, compliant product with the full documentation (Declaration of Compliance, migration and substance reports from accredited labs) so your parts clear customs and pass every audit, first time.
