Inspection and quality control are important tools in today’s corporate world. A third-party inspection company is a business organization complying with the ISO 17020 standard.

Third-party certification means that an independent organization has reviewed the manufacturing process of a product and has independently determined that the final product complies with specific standards for safety, quality or performance.This review typically includes comprehensive formulation/material reviews, testing and facility inspections. Most certified products bear the certifier’s mark on their packaging to help consumers and other buyers make educated purchasing decisions.

Inspections give you critical analysis and views of the quality of your business against the standardization certification.
