Pre-shipment Inspection and Final Random Inspection Services

Cotecna’s Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI) and Final Random Inspection (FRI) services provide a reliable safeguard, giving you confidence that your goods meet specifications and regulatory standards before leaving the factory.

Safeguarding Quality Before Shipment

In today’s fast-paced supply chains, ensuring product compliance and quality before shipment is critical.

• Pre-shipment Inspection

Pre-shipment Inspection is a quality control process conducted once production is completed and goods are ready for dispatch. Our inspectors verify product conformity against contractual and regulatory requirements, helping minimize costly recalls, delays, or rejections at destination.

• Final Random Inspection

Final Random Inspection is performed on finished goods, randomly selected based on internationally recognized sampling procedures. This ensures that your entire batch, not just a few samples, meets your quality and safety expectations.
