Quality Inspection

Most sourcing failures are invisible on a quotation. They appear three weeks later, inside a container: a bore outside its tolerance, a wall thickness quietly reduced to save cost, a coating that was specified but never applied, packaging that lets the goods arrive bent. By the time you can see it, you have paid, and the goods are 8,000 km away.

What RUIX does — and what we do not

RUIX is your sourcing and supply partner. We are not an inspection body, and we do not claim to be one. An inspector who is paid by the supplier is not an inspector — and that applies to us as much as to anyone else.

What we do is coordinate independent verification. When an order needs dimensional, material or performance evidence before it ships, we engage an independent, accredited testing laboratory and run the process end to end: agreeing the inspection plan with you, booking the laboratory, arranging access at the factory, witnessing the work, and delivering the signed report to you. The report is issued by the laboratory, on its own letterhead, traceable to its accreditation — not by RUIX.

How it works

What can be verified

What the report contains

• Measured values for every inspection point, with the deviation against the specified limits
• An explicit pass or fail against the criteria agreed in Step 1 — not a subjective summary
• Photographic evidence, including close-ups of any non-conformance
• The instruments used, with calibration certificate numbers and validity dates
• Ambient conditions where they affect the result — notably temperature, for dimensional work
• The issuing laboratory's accreditation mark and a traceable report number

Standards we work to

Inspection plans are written against the standard named in your purchase order. Where none is named, we will propose one and get your agreement before the inspection is booked. Typical references: ISO — including ISO 286 for limits and fits and ISO 10762 for hydraulic cylinder tubes — ASTM, EN, GB/T, DIN and JIS. Material certificates can be verified against EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 where required.

Who this is for

Buyers placing a first order with a factory they have never visited. Buyers whose own engineer cannot travel. Buyers who have been burned before and want evidence in hand before the balance payment goes out. Buyers working under a letter of credit, or under a contract that makes independent verification a condition of payment.

What it costs

Independent inspection is quoted per job: a man-day rate plus travel, instrument use and report preparation. It is priced separately from the goods. Tell us the product, the quantities and the parameters you need verified, and we will come back with a fixed figure before anything is booked.
