With countries opening their gates to globalisation, compliance becomes one of the major checkpoints, raising the need for sampling and inspection. From analysing product quality to ensuring regulatory compliance and meeting marketing confidence, inspection services play a vital role in the global trade economy.
At ITC Labs, with two well-equipped labs located in the northern and southern parts of India, and sample collection centres across the nation, we are one of the leading providers of sampling and inspection services.
Necessity of Sampling & Inspection Services
Ensuring the quality and compliance of a product is essential for both the manufacturer and the user. Inspection services verify the products for quantity, quality, and authenticity before shipment. Early detection of faults in any of these aspects helps in reducing losses, rejections, and dispute costs. Regulatory bodies such as FSSAI, APEDA, and BIS have established specific standards for the international shipping of manufactured goods. Comprehensive sampling and inspection services make sure that the regulatory standards are met and are ideal for import and export.
Another benefit of inspection service is sealing and tagging, where shipments are labelled with unique identifiers to ensure chain-of-custody and integrity. It also comes with GPS-tagged images and an online record for real-time digital reporting, making the tracking process easier than ever.
