Independent on-site audits to confirm a Chinese manufacturer is real, capable and compliant.
Most supplier fraud in China starts with a fake factory address, an inflated production capacity, or a trading company posing as a manufacturer. Xafair conducts independent on-site factory audits so you know exactly who you’re working with before you wire a deposit.
Our audit reports are 12-18 pages long, include 30+ photos and videos, and follow a standardised checklist aligned with ISO 9001 and Sedex SMETA standards.
What’s Included
- Verification of business licence, tax registration and export licence
- Confirmation of factory address, size, and ownership
- Production capacity audit (lines, machines, shifts, monthly output)
- Working conditions review (sedex-style labour and safety)
- Quality management system review (ISO / TS / relevant certifications)
- Customer reference checks (we call 2-3 of their existing overseas clients)
- Photo and video documentation (30+ items)
- Risk rating and recommendation (Low / Medium / High)
