- ensure visual appearance (color, finish) matches with product ordered.
- ensure product specifications (measurements, material, functions) comply with the order.
- verify packaging, labeling, instructions and markings comply with mandatory standards.

- Materials in process: (During Production Inspection, DPI or DUPRO)
- Finished products: (Final Random Inspection (FRI) or Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI))
- Supplies in storage: (cargo container Loading Supervision (LS))
