BEFORE DELIVERY

Pre-shipment inspection

We check the finished goods against the agreed scope, review supporting records and document the condition before dispatch. Define the product, location and acceptance criteria with our team.

ANATOMY OF AN ASSIGNMENT

Purchase order and packing list · Approved drawings and acceptance criteria · Factory contact and planned dispatch date

INSPECTION FOCUS

A closer look at the scope.

Know what is leaving the factory before it reaches your project.

Product identification & quantity

Visual condition & workmanship

Agreed dimensional checks

Packing, markings & dispatch records

These are potential scope items, not a fixed package. Equipment, acceptance criteria, location and inspector availability are confirmed before an assignment.

BEFORE WE ARRIVE

A good inspection starts with good information.

  • Purchase order and packing list
  • Approved drawings and acceptance criteria
  • Factory contact and planned dispatch date

Summary for project review

The record brings together the findings for the responsible project team.

Illustrative structure, not an issued inspection report. Content and deliverables are agreed per assignment.

A few details, clarified.

Does inspection automatically release a shipment?

No. Release authority and acceptance criteria must be defined in the assignment. Findings support the decision; they do not replace the buyer’s contractual responsibilities.

How do I arrange an inspection?

Send the equipment description, supplier location, required dates and available technical documents. The team can then review scope and availability before confirming an assignment.

References & technical context

Company information follows Sanka’s published scope. Technical references provide context, not a claim of certification. The applicable standard, edition and scope are agreed for each project.
