Six real inspections, anonymised
Six furniture inspections from Jodhpur and Jaipur, recorded in 2022–23 and re-presented in our current report format. Each one has the result on page one, the AQL sampling plan, the C-01 to C-10 checklist, every defect with its severity and photo, and what was not in scope. The client, factories, people and product codes are anonymised.

Three rejections show what a failed lot looks like: an end crack and visible epoxy filling, cracked marble tops, and a cabinet that tips forward with its drawers open, classed critical. One lot was reworked on site and the report says so, with a re-check advised.

Every Qualis PSI report is built in the same six parts, in this order. A supplier verification, factory audit or loading report changes the middle sections and keeps the first and last.
-
PART 01Cover & result
Report reference in the QLS-2026-0000 series, service, factory, cluster, product and PO, inspection date, the inspector's name, and the single-line result: cleared for loading, or not. The result is on the cover so nobody has to hunt for it.
-
PART 02Scope & sampling plan
What was agreed before arrival: the checklist, the golden sample and spec references, and the sampling plan — AQL 2.5 major / 4.0 minor under ISO 2859-1, General Inspection Level II, unless your own AQL was specified. Critical defects are zero-tolerance. Cartons are drawn at random by the inspector from packed goods; factory-preselected pieces are refused, and the refusal is recorded here.
-
PART 03Checklist results, C-01 → C-10
The ten checks, each with its method and its reading: quantity against the PO and packing list, moisture content, dimensions against spec, structural and joint integrity, finish against the golden sample, workmanship classified per our Defect Library, hardware kits against the BOM, function and moving parts, packaging integrity, and marks, labels and barcodes.
-
PART 04Photographed findings
The bulk of the report. Every finding is a macro photograph with the measurement annotated on the image, the check it failed, and a severity class — critical, major or minor — so you can apply your own tolerance rather than ours. Moisture is reported as a range across the sampled pieces, against the limit set for your destination climate, never as a single flattering number.
-
PART 05Standards referenced
Every check names the standard it was judged against: ISO 2859-1 for the sampling plan, EN 1728 and EN 12520 for seating, EN 12521 for tables, ISTA 3A as the reference for packaged-product drop testing, BS 5852 for UK-bound upholstery fire labelling — and your own specification, which is always the first standard.
-
PART 06The decision page
The last page is a decision aid, not a summary: release payment, demand rework, or hold the container — with the evidence you would need for either conversation, and a re-inspection route if the answer is rework. Your inspector then talks you through it on a call.
Four rows from a real PSI report
Anonymised, and typical of Part 04. Item is the sampled piece against the lot size, Reading is the measurement, Standard is what it was judged against, and Class is the severity you apply your tolerance to. Any term here is defined in the glossary.
| Item | Check | Reading | Standard | Class |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 03/240 | Tabletop moisture content | 13.6% | SPEC ≤11% | CRIT |
| 17/240 | Leg joint racking test | STABLE | EN 1728 | PASS |
| 44/240 | Finish vs approved sample | ΔVISIBLE | CLIENT REF | MAJ |
| CARTON | Drop test, 6 orientations | 6/6 | ISTA 3A ref. | PASS |
Three habits make our reports useful: numbers instead of adjectives (a moisture range, not "acceptable"), a standard reference on every check (ISO 2859-1, EN 1728, ISTA 3A, or your spec), and a severity class on every defect so you can apply your own tolerance. The final page is always a decision aid: release payment, demand rework, or hold—with the evidence you would need for either conversation.
