What is the First Article Inspection & why might you need one?

The First Article Inspection is typically performed right after the manufacturer starts producing your first mass production samples. 

A First Article Inspection will help you resolve any production problems that might exist at the beginning stage of manufacturing. This inspection is especially important if a Pre-Production Inspection was not performed.

What do we check during a First Article Inspection?
  • Understanding of your demands by the factory
  • Status and quantity of the raw materials and components used in the production
  • First production samples according to your approved samples or specifications
  • Production schedule and production processes control 
  • Quality control

Where are inspections performed?

We perform First Article Inspections at supplier factories throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Asian Pacific.
