In Factory: QIMA Unique Eyewear Expertise for Product Inspections
After random sampling of products in the factory, our specialized eyewear inspectors will carry out the following physical and mechanical tests to ensure the quality and performance characteristics of your product:
- Frame size and major dimensions
- Mechanical stability
- Front deformation
- Lens retention
- Hinge functionality
- Frame color, finish and construction
- Lens color and surface quality
- Frame adjustment and assembling quality
- Frame marking and information
You receive by email and on your online and mobile accounts a complete detailed report, same-day after the inspection is performed, and can make the best decision about your products’ shipment.
