Services

Product, technology and supplier sourcing

We search Asian OEMs and European manufacturers, find new technologies and the manufacturers behind them, check suppliers and compare offers. Factory visits, samples, negotiation and delivery coordination follow where needed.

Factory audit & supplier verification

We check that the supplier is a real, registered manufacturer and have an independent auditor assess the factory's capacity, processes and quality system before you commit.

Pre-production & during-production inspection

Independent inspectors check raw materials, components and the first finished units, so issues are corrected before the full order is made.

Pre-shipment inspection

Before you pay the balance, an independent inspector checks a random sample of finished goods against your specification, packaging and labelling, and you receive a photo report.

Container loading supervision

An inspector checks quantity, packing and loading at the factory and seals the container, so what leaves the factory matches your order.

Lab testing & EU compliance

We arrange product testing in accredited laboratories for EU requirements such as CE, REACH and RoHS, and check the supplier's certificates and documents.

Inspections are carried out by independent inspection partners and organised by CIC.
