Quality Control

Building Materials Quality Control in China

A 6-tier pre-shipment inspection framework for dimensional and finish tolerances.

Bottom line: Lock quantitative criteria before production. Catch defects on the Foshan factory floor. Ideal for: Project managers and procurement teams.

1. Inspection Baseline

  • CAD: Approved millimeter shop drawings.
  • Samples: Signed physical master samples.
  • Tolerances: Contractual numerical limits.

2. Dimensional Tolerances

  • Cabinetry: ±1.0 mm (width, depth, height).
  • Windows: ±1.5 mm (frame), ±1.0 mm (diagonal).
  • Tiles: ±0.5 mm (size and thickness).
  • Glass: ±1.0 mm (size), ±0.5 mm (hole centers).

3. Surface Finish

  • Lacquer: 80–120 microns, zero overspray.
  • Aluminum: Powder coat ≥60 microns.
  • Tiles: Dry-lay grading for tonal consistency.
  • Plumbing: PVD scratch and corrosion resistance.

4. Functional Testing

  • Drawers: Cycle test soft-close slides.
  • Doors/Windows: Verify sliding friction and locks.
  • Tapware: Pneumatic testing (0.6 MPa).
  • Lighting: Burn-in and CCT checks where specified for the project.

5. Hardware Completeness

  • Audits: Match screws and brackets to BOM.
  • Spares: Include 3–5% spare hardware.
  • Keys: Verify master keying hierarchy.

6. Packaging & Loading

  • Crates: Fumigated wood with corner guards.
  • Labels: Room-by-room barcodes.
  • Supervision: Load heavy cargo on floor, verify seals.

Defect Protocol

  • Minor: Touch up before loading.
  • Major: Agree the rework plan and timing with the project team before loading.
  • Critical: Reject and trigger remake.
