What to look for in a Third Party Inspection company

Purchasing new equipment and machinery is no easy feat — lots of time, money and risk goes into the process, especially when dealing with international vendors located abroad. To reduce this risk and stay legally complied to international standards, a third party inspection company is vital to ensure that your machinery is both up to code and at the quality level needed for your processes to run smoothly and efficiently. 

In short, a Third Party Inspection (TPI) is an independent, unbiased group who inspects a manufacturing company’s key assets such as equipment, processes and heavy machinery. They confirm the compliance of these products, determining if they meet the legally-required international standards, codes and technical specifications. 

No matter where you purchase equipment from, it must meet the same international standards. Even when you work with vendors from across the world, you have the responsibility of ensuring legal compliance. 

By definition, these inspectors are literally a “third party” who take no part in the design, procurement, fabrication, construction or installation of the equipment — in other words, they have nothing to gain or lose from the results. 

As Third Party Inspection is a necessary process for every manufacturing company, it’s important to ensure both quality and integrity in your chosen inspectors. Here, you’ll learn what factors are important when hiring your own Third Party Inspection company.
