About this report
A real inspection record from January 2023, shown here in the Clear To Load report format. The client, factory, people, purchase order and product codes are withheld, and labels and branding in the photographs are blurred or cropped. Where the original record did not state an agreed AQL, the result applies our default plan (ISO 2859-1, General Level II, AQL 2.5 major and 4.0 minor, zero critical) to the defects recorded at the time.
A result reflects the sample examined at the time and place of inspection. It does not relieve sellers or manufacturers of their contractual obligations, nor prejudice the buyer's rights for defects not detected during a random inspection or occurring afterwards.
