Ceramic tiles combine aesthetic appeal with robust functionality, making them a preferred choice for both residential and commercial spaces. Available in various finishes and patterns, these tiles require stringent quality checks to maintain structural integrity, dimensional precision, and surface durability. At AQS, we conduct comprehensive inspections to ensure that every tile meets the highest standards, minimizing potential defects before they reach the client.
We start by confirming that the quantity produced matches the client’s purchase order. This ensures all goods are ready for inspection and helps identify any shortage or production imbalance.
01
Our inspector checks the physical availability and organization of the produced material in the warehouse. Proper segregation and pallet labeling are verified.
02
We select random boxes from different pallets based on AQL guidelines to ensure representative coverage of the entire production lot.
03
Each sampled box is weighed using a digital scale to detect:
04
Selected boxes are brought to the designated QC area where inspection will be carried out under proper lighting and clean conditions.
05
Box Labeling & Artwork Check:
These are matched with the client's approved artwork and packing specifications.
06
Before removing tiles, we inspect the internal packing:
07
Tiles are laid flat to simulate floor installation. We check:
08
The laid tiles are compared to the client-approved reference tile to confirm:
Any deviation is documented and sent for client review.
09
Using multiple-point measurements, we check:
10
All results — from visual checks to technical test outcomes — are compiled into a detailed inspection report. It includes:
The report is shared with the client within 24 hours to support fast, informed decision-making.
11
The inspection begins by verifying that the produced quantity matches the purchase order. This confirms readiness for inspection and helps avoid quantity-related discrepancies
01
Our inspector visits the factory warehouse to physically verify the available finished stock and ensure it is segregated and identifiable for inspection.
02
Using AQL sampling standards, we randomly select boxes from different pallets and batches. This ensures the inspection covers the full production range, not just handpicked pieces.
03
We weigh each selected box using a digital scale to check for:
Any deviation is flagged immediately.
04
Selected boxes are transferred to the factory’s QC area, where sufficient space, lighting, and flat surfaces are available for proper inspection.
05
We verify:
This ensures packaging and design match the client’s approved artwork.
06
Before removing tiles, we inspect the internal packing quality, including:
Good internal packing is critical to prevent damage during transit.
07
Tiles are laid out side-by-side to simulate real-world installation. We check:
This step reveals actual visual behavior of the tiles once installed.
08
We compare the production tiles with the client-approved master tile to ensure:
Any variation is documented with photos and shared with the client for confirmation.
09
Using multiple-point measurements, we check:
10
All inspection findings — including visuals, measurements, test results, and remarks — are compiled into a detailed inspection report. This report is shared with the client within 24 hours, enabling informed decisions for shipment approval or necessary corrections.
11
tiles are subjected to continuous foot traffic, heavy furniture, and routine cleaning, making them more prone to wear and damage than wall tiles. Ensuring structural integrity, precise dimensions, and surface durability is crucial to prevent costly rework and installation failures.
At AQS, our inspection process goes beyond aesthetics, focusing on mechanical strength, slip resistance, and abrasion testing to verify that each tile is not only visually flawless but also robust enough to withstand real-world conditions without compromising quality or safety.
