Quality control: checking every detail before handover

05 / 01

Checking dimensions, weight and appearance

Drawings, approved samples and order criteria provide the reference for dimensions, form and surfaces. For planters, checks consider height, opening dimensions, the interior and base; weighing adds another measurement for comparison with the specification.

Workshop footage shows measuring, placing planters on a scale and turning products to inspect different sides. Color, surface consistency and finishing details are considered alongside the overall form.

Load trials for tabletops and stools

For tabletops and stools, checks consider the supports and the product under load. The videos show two arrangements: a tabletop resting on supports with a load in the middle, and a stool with bags of material placed on its top.

Load placement, load level and test duration need to be defined for each product. The images below illustrate trials in the production documentation; any declared working load should be supported by recorded results for the relevant sample.

Checking coating adhesion

Alongside color and surface feel, adhesion is a consideration for the finishing coat. Supplier footage demonstrates cutting intersecting lines into a coated sample, then applying tape to check the scored area.

After removing the tape, the test area is examined for changes to the coating. This footage illustrates a test by supplier ArTec Paint; results for an order's coating need to be checked against the confirmed sample and inspection requirements.

Package drop trials and unpacking checks

The product and its packaging are considered together when preparing for delivery. Drop-trial footage records package preparation, a ruler used to reference the lifting position and handling the package in different orientations.

After the trial, the carton is opened to examine the inserts, wrapping and product condition. Removing the product and its protection and inspecting the surface, rim and base helps assess the packaging approach before it is agreed for an order.

Reviewing products with the client before handover

During workshop inspections, clients examine products, view planter interiors and bases, discuss details with the team and record points for review. This brings the approved sample and order criteria into checks on the actual products.

Points requiring adjustment or confirmation are collected for follow-up before handover. Inspection scope and how results are recorded are agreed for each order, connecting production, inspection and packing clearly.
