On-site Verification

Subject to permission to enter and actual access to the site, observe the agreed company premises, personnel, facilities, production, and storage; record evidence, exceptions, and limitations; and prepare a reviewed on-site verification report.

Who this is for

Buyers who need direct observations to supplement public information and remote documents, particularly about a supplier's actual premises and production activity.

Questions this service helps answer

  • Does the visited address and site match public information?
  • Can the responsible person or contact's identity and authority be checked within scope?
  • Is the specified product visibly produced at the site?
  • What can be observed about equipment, production lines, materials, and storage?

What is included

01 | Address and operating premises

  • Record address, signboard, office, and factory environment
  • Compare observations with registration and website information

Purpose: Document the premises actually reached and permitted for inspection.

02 | Responsible person and contact

  • Check agreed identity information for the responsible person, legal representative, and contact
  • Record statements and supporting materials available during the visit

Purpose: Explain what identity and decision-authority indicators could be checked.

03 | Ownership or lease documents

  • Review relevant documents provided and permitted for inspection
  • Distinguish document viewing from a legal title investigation

Purpose: Record available evidence about premises use and its limits.

04 | Specified product and outsourcing

  • Observe available indications that the specified product is produced at the site
  • Ask about and record outsourced processes

Purpose: Describe observed conditions without guaranteeing that every order is produced there.

05 | Equipment, lines, materials, and storage

  • Record observable equipment, condition, and production activity
  • Review available work-order, material, and warehouse clues

Purpose: Provide observations, not a complete production-capacity audit.

06 | Original certificates

  • View relevant original certificates actually held by the company and made available
  • Record visible scope and certificate information

Purpose: Viewing an original does not mean the issuing body has independently confirmed it.

07 | IP indicators and report

  • Review available trademark or patent documents for preliminary screening
  • Record permitted photos or notes, exceptions, inaccessible areas, and limitations

Purpose: Deliver an evidence-based report with clear boundaries.

What you receive

  • On-site verification report within the agreed scope
  • Observation notes, available evidence, and exceptions
  • Optional specialist checks for suppliers/raw materials, fire safety, labour, outsourcing, and finance/commercial/contracts

Scope boundaries and important notes

  • Base price is US$488 and includes necessary travel, transport, lodging, and site-visit expenses within the agreed standard scope.
  • Only areas actually accessed and inspected are covered; refusal or lack of cooperation is recorded and handled under the order rules.
  • Viewing original certificates is not issuer confirmation; viewing property documents is not a legal title investigation.
  • Observations do not guarantee fulfilment, product quality, sustained capacity, or transaction safety.

Next step

Before ordering, confirm the target address, site scope, and any optional specialist checks.
