Common Questions From OEM Buyers
What quality documents come with each shipment?
You should receive the certificate of conformance, batch records, sterilization certificate, and inspection report for each lot.
What if the product does not match the agreed specification?
The contract should state the tolerance range and rejection criteria. Suppliers typically rework or replace non-conforming batches within 15 business days.
Should I do a pre-shipment inspection?
Yes. A third-party inspection before shipment catches labeling, packaging, and cosmetic defects that are expensive to fix after arrival.
How long does production take after sample approval?
Standard production runs 3 to 5 weeks after sample sign-off. Larger volumes or custom sterilization cycles may add 1 to 2 weeks.
