Weinspection can serve as a partner to certification bodies in Asia/Latin America for conducting product certification audits. The CIG023 factory audit is the most popular certification process administered by these certification bodies. During the audit, the auditor evaluates factories against the following items as per CIG023 requirements (which are covered in the factory audit report):
-Verification of purchased components/materials affecting certified product conformity
-Production control, inspection, and routine testing
-Functional checks of safety-testing equipment
-Production status observation (during visit)
-Calibration of test and measurement equipment
-Handling and storage procedures
-Product verification / periodic testing (PVT)
-Corrective actions for inspector evaluations
-Factory quality management system
-Manufacturer self-assessment of certified product processes
-Customer complaint management
-Modifications to certified products
-Selection and shipment of re-examination samples
Besides the CIG023 factory audit, other factory audits focus on quality management systems and product conformity control administered by certification bodies. Factory laboratory evaluations are also required by some certification bodies. The Weinspection audit team has 10+ years of experience assisting certification bodies in completing product certification processes.
Auditors photograph audit evidence, and these photos are submitted to customers with the factory audit report. Upon PCA completion, factories receive hard copies or electronic copies of the PCA report. Weinspection guarantees formal report delivery to customers within 24 hours of PCA completion.
