What quality checks does UFELE normally perform?
The inspection plan depends on the product and order. It may include incoming material review, assembly inspection, function testing, an aging test for applicable inverter products, appearance and label checks, packing inspection, and pre-shipment confirmation.
Does UFELE use one sampling rate or AQL for every order?
No. The sampling approach, sample size and acceptance criteria should match the product risk, order quantity, buyer requirement and inspection stage. If a buyer requires a named AQL plan or 100 percent inspection for a defined item, it should be written into the approved order or inspection file before production.
Is an aging test used for every electrical product?
No. An aging test is mainly relevant to applicable inverter and control products. The load condition, duration, monitored items and pass criteria must follow the approved model-specific test requirement. Low-voltage protection components and accessories use different inspection points.
Which electrical safety tests can be included?
Applicable checks may include insulation, dielectric strength, protective earth continuity or other safety-related items, but they are not identical for every product. UFELE confirms the relevant test item, method and acceptance limit against the exact model, rating and approved technical file.
What information can an inspection record contain?
A useful record can identify the purchase order, product model, rating, quantity or sample size, inspection date, checklist revision, test result, defect details, disposition and reviewer. Where measuring equipment is used, the equipment identity and calibration status can also be linked to the test record.
What happens if a problem is found during inspection?
Affected items are identified and separated from passed goods. The team records the issue, decides whether to rework, replace or reject the item, and repeats the relevant inspection after correction. Shipment approval waits until the agreed disposition and recheck are complete.
Can buyers request inspection photos before shipment?
Yes. Buyers can request documented photos of the product, label, packing, carton marks, accessories and selected test stages. The required views and file naming method should be confirmed before production so the photo record matches the buyer’s approval process.
Can a third-party inspection be arranged?
Third-party inspection can be discussed for suitable orders. The buyer, inspection company and UFELE should agree on the product list, readiness level, sampling plan, inspection checklist, site date and release process before the visit is booked.
