Role Of Pre-Shipment Inspection in Bangladesh Industrial Services

Pre-shipment Inspection's role in Industrial Services is to ensure an impartial inspection service for products. This increases the security of the product and its quality and provides cost-effective Inspection that fulfils the customers' needs and minimizes the risk of product rejections from the end-user.

This is the crucial role of Pre-shipment Inspection within industrial services. The pre-shipment Inspection Agency Bangladesh (i.e. The OSS Certification) is usually an Accredited Inspection company which provides Third-Party Inspection to the requirements of the Industry or regulatory agency.

Following the Pre-shipment Inspection and completing the Pre-shipment Inspection, Third-Party Inspection provides the pre-shipment inspection certificate or report of the pre-shipment Inspection to its customers, which is based on the Pre-shipment Inspection agreements terms and conditions between the Buyer-Supplier and the Third-Party Inspection Agency. When an industry utilizes Third-Party Inspection Agency's services, they can be aware of the importance of pre-shipment Inspection for cost-efficiency as well as Product Quality Consistency and the reduction of rejects of the product by the end buyer.

Third-Party Inspection Agencies (i.e., OSS Certification) are typically ISO 17020 Accredited Inspection agencies that follow the established standard for shipment Inspection Methodology to ensure requirements for compliance. However, obtaining the accreditation before conducting the Third-Party Inspection is optional. For instance, if the Certification is performing management system certification, i.e. ISO 9001 Certification, in this scenario, accreditation to ISO 17021-1 is a compulsory prerequisite for CAB.

But, for pre-shipment Inspection and the requirements of the Buyers or any other regulatory authority become obligatory. For ISO Certification, it is an obligatory requirement to get accreditation before performing any Certification tasks (i.e. ISO 9001 Certification, ISO 45001 Certification, ISO 27001 Certification, etc. etc.).

In all cases, for the Third-Party Inspection to be conducted (i.e. Pre-shipment Inspection), the Inspection Agency must have some Standard Pre-shipment Inspection procedures or methods of pre-shipment Inspection. The procedures for Pre-shipment Inspection or methods of pre-shipment Inspection generally offer the flexibility to be customized to meet the inspection requirements of the client. 


The pre-shipment inspection procedure is described below (But not limited to)

 

  • Receipt from Pre-shipment Inspection Request (From the Customer)
  • Requirement for Information about Product Information, the date of Inspection, the location for Inspection and Inspection Specification Requirement of checkpoints (if there are any)
  • Review of the feasibility for pre-shipment Inspection (considering the following factors: Resources available, availability of the required expertise, time of Inspection, Location of Inspection etc. etc.)
  • We offer a pre-shipment inspection fee and other Terms and Conditions for the Customer to review and accept.
  • Pre-shipment Agreement sign-ups Between Third-Party Inspection Agency and Client.
  • performing the Inspection
  • The Pre-shipment Inspection Report was prepared and submitted to the Customer as the pre-shipment Inspection Certificate (If necessary). Except as specified on the pre-shipment inspection Contract

They are the typical Pre-shipment Inspection procedures followed by Pre-shipment Inspection in Bangladesh. This can be included in inspection procedures if the Customer has a particular requirement. This can be customized case to case (by adding the requirement). However, the above process must be followed at a minimum. We've seen this happen when we received the Pre-shipment Inspection that customers inquired about - how they could expect the time that the pre-delivery Inspection.

To better understand how the length of pre-delivery inspections depends on the conditions set out in the Agreement, i.e., inspection contract terms and conditions. Over the last several years, we have witnessed the experience of third-party inspections. The pre-delivery Inspection generally is completed according to the time and date agreed upon. In rare circumstances, it is possible to make some slight changes in the pre-delivery inspection time, but only with the client's prior approval.

Methods for Pre-shipment Inspection

The techniques of pre-shipment Inspection are derived from the requirements of Inspection that include the type of product to be inspected or any other requirements specific to the product. As general guidelines for Pre-shipment Inspection in Bangladesh are followed, the following techniques of pre-shipment inspections are used (unless the client specifies any specific requirements for Inspection).


  • Checking PO to Match the quantity (product-wise)
  • Review of Raw Material report
  • Random Sampling
  • Check Instruments and the status of their calibration
  • Inspection of the Product (Visual Dimensional)
  • Functional Test (if required)
  • Environmental Test (If required)
  • labelling and marking
  • Packing
  • Pre-shipment Inspection Report Preparation
  • The issue of the Pre-shipment Inspection Certificate (if any requirement)

The points above are the general practices of pre-shipment Inspection (pre-shipment Inspection in Bangladesh), which third-party inspection companies are implementing. It isn't restricted to pre-shipment Inspection and can be customized according to the client's requirements.

This is why Pre-shipment Inspection must be considered one of the most critical components of the supply chain that are essential for Industrial Services.
