Defect Sorting Inspection

Remove Defective Products Before Shipment – Guarantee Quality and Customer Satisfaction

Overview

The Defect Sorting Inspection (DSI), also known as 100% Inspection, is a comprehensive quality control process designed to identify and remove defective products before shipment. Unlike random sampling inspections, DSI involves inspecting every single unit to ensure that only defect-free products are delivered to customers.

During this process, inspectors carefully examine each item and classify defects as minor, major, or critical, removing all non-conforming products from the batch. DSI is especially valuable when earlier inspections reveal a high defect rate or when buyers require strict quality assurance to prevent defective goods from reaching the market.
