Manufacturing team
Assign the agreed production checks, sample identification and recording of measured results. Findings should identify the affected unit or batch and the relevant drawing or specification revision.
Evidence before release
Quality is a plan,
not a final glance.
Define what must be checked, how it will be measured, which sample applies and what evidence releases the order.

Download a blank inspection register and follow the model, sample and shipment document trail before defining your project checks.
Process illustration · request the model-specific test recordTest context matters
Record the conditions, not only the result.
Performance evidence should identify the cabinet configuration, sensor positions, product load or simulator, ambient condition, test duration and acceptance limits. This makes a result reviewable and repeatable.
Request quality evidence ↗Checks before release
Match each check
to the cabinet.
Connection points, equipment and acceptance criteria should follow the approved model and destination package. Ask for the corresponding project records when reviewing a supplier.
Process illustration · request the electrical inspection recordElectrical safety
Check the released electrical package.
Identify the model-specific electrical inspection points, test method and acceptance limits for the ordered voltage, wiring and cabinet configuration. The illustration does not establish a universal connection location.

Review the joint and method.
Identify the relevant circuit, inspection points and agreed leak-check procedure before treating a result as release evidence.

Six controlled checkpoints.
The exact inspection level and acceptance criteria are agreed against the order risk, model configuration and buyer requirements.
Specification review
Model, voltage, refrigerant, artwork, components, packaging and destination requirements are aligned before production.
Expected evidenceReleased project specificationIncoming materials
Critical components and visible materials are checked against approved requirements and supplier documentation.
Expected evidenceIncoming check recordIn-process checks
Plan cabinet and door alignment, sealing, wiring, refrigeration assembly and shelf checks. For shelves, identify the size, wire or support diameter and the agreed strength-check method.
Expected evidenceIn-process inspection recordPerformance verification
Temperature, cycling, controls, lighting, noise and electrical checks are defined for the selected configuration.
Expected evidenceRecorded test evidencePre-shipment inspection
Include cleaning, visible finish, door operation, shelf support, accessories, labels and pack-out in the release plan. State the sample quantity, defect criteria and disposition of exceptions.
Expected evidenceInspection and exception recordShipment evidence
Inspection records, packing photos and agreed documents are assembled before shipment release.
Expected evidenceProject release packDimensions, loading and assembly
Make each inspection question concrete.
Define measuring points, tolerances and acceptance methods for the selected shelf, supports and door assembly. Keep actual results with the drawing revision.
Define the rod-diameter measurement
Identify the shelf member and measurement position on the drawing. Specify whether the dimension applies before or after coating, select a suitable instrument and record the actual reading against the agreed tolerance.
Include in your brief
- Shelf drawing and member identification
- Coating condition and measuring position
- Diameter tolerance and inspection record
Check shelf outside dimensions against the drawing
Identify the shelf revision and measure its overall width and depth from the agreed outside edges. Record the measuring points, coating condition and permitted tolerances, then check the shelf against the intended supports.
Include in your brief
- Shelf drawing and revision
- Outside measurement points and tolerances
- Support arrangement and coating condition
Check shelf seating with the intended product load
Use the agreed package assortment and loading pattern to review shelf seating, support engagement and access. Define any strength test separately, including the load, distribution, duration, measurement method and acceptance limits; keep the actual results with the shelf and support revision.
Include in your brief
- Package assortment and loading pattern
- Shelf and support revision
- Agreed test method and acceptance criteria
First-article door fit and alignment
Use the agreed door assembly and drawing revision to check frame alignment, door clearances and the closed position on the first article. Record any adjustment and repeat the affected check before releasing that configuration for production.
Include in your brief
- Door assembly and drawing revision
- Agreed alignment and clearance criteria
- Adjustment and recheck record
Review the closed-door assembly
Compare door position, frame alignment and the sealing interface with the released assembly requirements. Record the inspection points and any adjustment; use a separate agreed method when seal performance or door endurance must be verified.
Include in your brief
- Cabinet and door assembly revision
- Alignment and sealing-interface criteria
- Adjustment record and any separate test plan
What buyers can request
A project-specific evidence pack.
- Approved specification and drawing revision
- Artwork and finish approval references
- Inspection checklist and sampling plan
- Temperature-test evidence where agreed
- Product, label and packing photographs
- Corrective-action record when required
Define acceptance before production
Make quality measurable.
Share your critical-to-quality features, inspection standard and destination requirements with the project brief.
