Third party inspection is totally based on the requirements by the applicant. Contrary to the Government regulated inspections, third party inspection is for the client companies including sellers/buyers of trade, project managers or for any company/person who needs assurance of the goods, cargo or services. The inspection company will check, inspect and verify the Cargo, Products, Services, System or Environment in compliance with the required specification or contract. Following are the examples of each inspection:
- Cargo Inspection:
Quantity and Quality check of the cargo and goods
Marking and Labeling
Confirmation of export-worthiness
Packing condition
Loading supervision to assure the safety shipment (pre-loading survey)
Weighing
- Product Inspection:

- Service or Environment Inspections

Company investigation to confirm existence of the office/building, trade, financial state etc.
Check of Customer satisfaction of services

Inspection method (example)
Inspection method is decided upon confirmation of the client requirement and document available. When there is no specific requirement for inspection of cargo, for example, ISO Sampling Standard or AQL will be implemented.
