Rely on UL for the Safety and Quality of Your Products
To help eliminate many of the uncertainties associated with global sourcing, UL’s comprehensive inspection
system provides a vital check on consumer product quality form top of production through loading. From
factory to shelf, we help ensure products and packaging meets your specification for quality and safety.
With experienced technical staff on five continents, UL can design and implement a global inspection
program to meet your specific quality assurance needs.
• Top of Production (TOP) Inspections / Initial Production Inspections (IPI) are performed on raw
materials and initial samples respectively, in conjunction with product evaluations against
pre-production pieces to help ensure compliance with regulatory standards and client specifications
• During-Production (DUPRO) Inspections provide a means of evaluating quality after production has
started, but before the majority of the order is completed. The purpose of the inspection is to identify
and address any issues as early as possible in the manufacturing process without jeopardizing the
shipping schedule
• Final Random Inspections (FRI)/Pre-shipment (PSI) Inspections verify product quality, packaging,
product labeling, and carton markings before the product leaves the factory to help ensure the items
are fit for their intended purpose and are correctly packed to minimize potential damage
during shipment
10
UL Textile Services
• Loading Inspections help ensure that the product, shipment quantity, packing requirements and carton
markings are accurate during the loading process at the factory, warehouse, or port
• Production Monitoring places an inspector on-site at the factory to monitor the manufacturing process
from incoming raw materials to finished product, and helps ensure materials, quality, and production
schedules meet your anticipated timelines and specifications
Factory Audits
UL factory audits provide customized product inspection support, based on customers’ predefined
parameters or customer-accepted specifications. These audits provide retailers and buyers confidence in the
quality of the suppliers that they work with as well as the reliability of the products that are sourced from
these suppliers.
Quality concerns can be identified and controlled at the source. Our experts assess a factory’s competence
to deliver consistent quality over the long term. Key processes addressed include:
•
•
•
•
•
Quality management system
Good manufacturing practice
Product control
