Cookware Sample Inspection Checklist (Before Bulk Approval)
The sample is the contract in physical form. Inspect it like your business depends on it - because it does.
The 15 checks
- Dimensions vs drawing (every critical one)
- Weight vs spec
- Wall gauge with micrometer
- Finish inside/outside vs approved standard
- Full-wall cladding verification (rim check)
- Handle strength (pull/twist test)
- Rivet/weld quality
- Lid fit - no rocking
- Logo engraving: position, clarity, correctness
- Induction hob test
- Water boil test (even heating)
- Capacity check (fill to brim, measure)
- Packaging: box quality, print, barcode scan
- Drop test the packed sample
- Cook a real meal in it
Approval discipline
Approve in writing with photos of the approved sample ("golden sample") - signed by both sides. Every bulk inspection compares against this, not against memory.
