● CAPABILITY 02 — FACTORY VERIFICATION & SUPPLIER AUDITS

We verify the factory before your money moves.

A glossy catalog and a responsive sales rep prove nothing. Before a supplier enters your program, EDC verifies that the factory exists, produces what it claims, holds the certifications it shows, and can deliver at the quality and volume the brief requires.

01

On-site factory audits.

Our agents physically visit the facility — not a showroom, the actual production line. We confirm the factory operates the equipment it claims, employs the workforce it claims, and is not a trading company subcontracting elsewhere.

02

Documentation & certification checks.

Business license, export license, ISO and product certifications, test reports — verified against issuing bodies, not taken at face value. We confirm a certificate is real, current, and actually covers the product being supplied.

03

Sample validation.

Before a production run, we validate samples against the specification — independently tested where the program requires it. The sample that passes becomes the contractual reference for the whole order.

04

Pre-shipment inspection.

Goods are inspected before they leave the factory, against the agreed sample and specification. Defects are caught on the floor — not after they have crossed a border and become your problem to return.

● VERIFICATION CHECKLIST

What a verification covers.

Legal & corporate existence.

Registered business license, scope of operation, years active, ownership — confirmed against Chinese corporate registries.

Production capability.

Real equipment, line capacity, monthly output, in-house vs subcontracted processes — observed on-site, not described over email.

Quality systems.

ISO certification, QC process, defect-handling, traceability — and whether the paperwork matches what actually happens on the floor.

Export readiness.

Export license, prior export history, ability to produce correct customs documentation, and compliance posture for the destination market.
