Quality Assurance

Three checkpoints stand between your spec and the shipping container.

Buyers depend on consistency between sample and bulk. Our QA flow is structured around three documented checkpoints — pre-production, inline and pre-shipment — so the standard set at sample stage holds at scale.

Three-stage QA workflow

One process, three documented checkpoints.

Each stage has its own checklist, evidence package and sign-off — no buyer ever has to ask 'did anyone actually check this?'

Stage 1 · Before production

Material & sample sign-off

Lab dips, raw material certificates, color swatches and the golden sample are reviewed and approved together before any bulk PO is released.

Stage 2 · During production

Inline inspection

Workmanship, finishing, print accuracy and assembly are sampled mid-run. Any drift from the golden sample is flagged before the next batch starts.

Stage 3 · Before shipment

Pre-shipment inspection

AQL-based audit of finished cartons, packing list verification and visual standard check. A signed PDF report is shared before goods leave the warehouse.

The same tools, the same checklists, every order.

Inspections are not improvised. The same calibrated equipment, scoring rubric and photo evidence template is used across categories so QA reports are comparable from one run to the next.

  • Digital calipers, hardness testers and calibrated scales
  • Photo evidence with timestamps for every defect class
  • Scoring rubric aligned to the buyer's golden sample
  • Defect category counts shared in the PDF report
What gets checked

Category-aware inspection criteria.

Every category carries its own failure modes — our checklists adapt accordingly.

Yoga & Pilates

Surface texture, density consistency, edge finishing and color uniformity across the run.

  • Density tolerance ±5%
  • Color delta vs. swatch
  • Edge & rivet integrity

Strength & Cardio

Weight tolerance, coating adhesion, grip texture and hardware torque under cyclic load.

  • Weight tolerance ±2%
  • Coating adhesion test
  • Hardware torque check

Recovery

Density grading, surface integrity, motor longevity and battery cycle for percussive tools.

  • Density A/B/C grading
  • Vibration profile check
  • Battery cycle audit

Packaging & retail

Carton drop test, retail box print accuracy and barcode scan-rate validation.

  • Drop test (1.2 m, 6 sides)
  • Print delta ≤ 5%
  • Barcode scan-rate ≥ 99%
Standards & references
