Independent Verification of Factory Capability & Compliance
Before entering a supply agreement, it is critical to verify that a manufacturer has the infrastructure, systems, and resources to meet your expectations. BQCIS Factory Assessments provide an objective appraisal of a facility’s production capability, quality controls, and compliance with international standards.
Our auditors inspect all major aspects of the factory — including management systems, material flow, workforce competency, machinery, and environmental practices — to deliver a clear and reliable picture of operational readiness. These assessments help buyers minimize risk, avoid production delays, and ensure supplier qualification with confidence.
