These methods include the following:<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Consignment-Wise_inspection\"><\/span><strong>#1: Consignment-Wise inspection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>In this inspection method, the inspectors examine each deliverable product in as condition. They follow the statistical sampling plan to examine the goods. In case they find things okay, then they issue the inspection report or certificate often immediately. The inspection report has every information mentioned on it. However, if they find anything objectionable, then they recommend re-do for those goods. It is good to mention that no goods are dispatched without the \u2018Pass\u2019 inspection of PSI agencies. Therefore, the manufacturers prefer completing all the quality-control parameters before they proceed for Pre-shipment inspection.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_In-process_Quality_Control\"><\/span><strong>#2: In-process Quality Control<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This inspection becomes mandatory when the products is critical for use. The PSI agencies need to be very careful while conducting In-process inspections. They issue the inspection report only after completing all the regular parameters of the inspection.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Self-Certification\"><\/span><strong>#3. Self-Certification<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>This is the manufacturer\u2019s own decision to certify their goods before they get them ready to ship. They use all their industry experience to examine all quality control parameters neutrally and they issue the self-certificate themselves. Here, they bear all the responsibilities to any kind of quality issues that the end users may notice or encounter while selling or using these goods or products. Generally, the Pre-shipment inspection Agency do not do the self- Certification of products.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ending_Thought\"><\/span><strong>The Ending Thought<\/strong>:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Being a manufacturer of certain customer goods, you cannot avoid completing all the necessary parameters that can make your products 100% quality-proof.
