Assessing the quality of a facility, its procedures and systems is a skilled job best done by trained auditors. Intertek can audit manufacturing facilities around the world, providing an independent assessment of the factory’s quality systems and an independent view of the facility’s capability of producing consistent, quality footwear.
Intertek also offers a comprehensive inspection program based upon statistical analysis of finished goods (sampling according to ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, ISO 2859, BS 6001). To ensure conformance with pre-approved samples our inspectors randomly select finished goods, compare these with agreed criteria and report their findings based upon predetermined AQL (Acceptance Quality Level).
