FRI – Final Random Inspection
Check and ship
Final Random Inspection (FRI) is the detailed visual inspection of goods before shipment. It is generally conducted on the premises of the manufacturer, on samples selected according to defined sampling procedures. The inspection criteria, covering quality, quantity, marking and packing, are based on the client's specifications and on the reference samples provided. Upon completion of the FRI, a detailed inspection report is sent to the client and the Inspection Certificate is issued to the supplier if all findings are positive.
Context
As trade globalisation gains pace, sourcing from faraway countries and new suppliers increases. Under these conditions, monitoring the production process requires on-the-spot presence to reduce the risk of substandard quality, discrepancies, shipment delays and other contraventions of purchase order requirements.
