Factories are vetted for compliance with regulations such as RoHS for hardware. Comprehensive inspections achieve a 99.2% pass rate, surpassing the industry average of 90%. Services also facilitate third-party testing to verify durability and safety, ensuring products like drills or fasteners perform reliably in global markets.
Q: What steps should I take to verify the reliability of factories producing tools and hardware?

Look for factories with certifications like ISO 9001 or those vetted by reputable procurement services.

Checking production capacity, past performance, and client feedback minimizes risks like defective products, with return rates as low as 0.8% compared to the industry’s 4.9%.
