Why it matters

A listing, badge, or license is only one part of verification. Look for consistent evidence across identity, site, capability, quality, and commercial records.

What you can do

Decide whether a supplier truly fits your product

01

Match the legal and payment identity

Confirm the registered company name, operating status, address, contracting party, and receiving account are consistent.

02

Verify product and process fit

Find out which critical processes are completed in-house, what equipment is used, and which operations are subcontracted.

03

Test claims with samples and quality records

Use the same sample brief, test method, defect criteria, and change rules to see whether an approved result can be repeated.

Practical workflow

From a long list to comparable factory candidates

1

Set qualification criteria

Define materials, construction, market, volume, compliance, lead time, and must-have production capabilities.

2

Normalize the RFQ and checks

Send the same brief to candidates and verify company, site, equipment, documents, and relevant work.

3

Choose after sampling

Use sample performance, communication, corrective speed, inspection access, and terms to select primary and backup factories.
