Failure cost − inspection cost
How we calculated this: 200 units at ~35 units/hr + 3.5h overhead = 9.2h → 2 man-days
This is an estimate based on ISO 2859-1 sampling tables and typical inspector throughput rates. Your final quote may differ based on factory location and specific testing requirements.
Our commitment
Two things are on us: 1. Your report arrives inside the window we committed to, or you don't pay for it. 2. It covers everything we agreed to inspect, or you don't pay for it.
Lateness and scope only. A pass covers the sample drawn, not the lot — see What an AQL Pass Means.
Tools store
The same inspection tools our inspectors carry on site are available to order — 62 tools and 18 kits in the TruMark tools store.
