Questions buyers ask
What does Qualis Assurance inspect?
Furniture only: solid-wood, metal, upholstered and outdoor furniture made in India’s furniture clusters. Its inspectors work for the buyer who books them, never for the factory. Bookings are confirmed within 24 hours, and inspectors can be on site the same day in Jodhpur and Jaipur.
What happens in a furniture pre-shipment inspection?
When the order is finished and packed, but before the buyer pays the balance, a Qualis Assurance inspector draws samples at random under ISO 2859-1, usually at AQL 2.5. The inspector checks moisture content in solid wood, structure, finish, hardware, packaging and quantities, and runs carton drop tests. The buyer receives a photographed report within 24 hours, signed by the inspector who was in the factory, and a call to talk through the findings.
What does supplier verification check?
It confirms that a furniture supplier is real and capable before a deposit is sent. The inspector visits the premises, establishes whether the business is a manufacturer or a trader, checks its IEC and GST registrations, and assesses its machinery, capacity and export history. Reports are delivered within three working days in Jodhpur and Jaipur.
When does a buyer need a factory audit?
Before placing regular orders with a new factory. A Qualis Assurance factory audit covers the production process and equipment, the factory’s own quality control system, real capacity, subcontracting, workforce and safety conditions, and readiness for the buyer’s compliance requirements. It ends in a scored report the buyer can use to onboard the supplier.
What other services does Qualis Assurance offer?
During-production inspection catches problems while they can still be fixed. Container loading supervision checks that the right goods are loaded and properly secured. EUDR supplier evidence reviews help importers of wooden furniture collect the supply-chain records the EU Deforestation Regulation asks for.
Why does independence matter in third-party quality inspection?
An inspector whose income depends on the factory has a reason to pass the goods. Qualis Assurance charges the same fixed fee whether a shipment passes or fails, and its Independence Charter rules out commission, referral fees, gifts and hospitality from factories.
“I’ve watched buyers wire deposits to factories their own agent was paid to praise,” said Yogesh Raygoor, founder and lead inspector of Qualis Assurance. “This Charter is the document I wish someone had shown them first.”
What is Clear To Load?
Clear To Load is the second brand of the company behind Qualis Assurance, launched in October 2026. It provides third-party quality inspection for goods other than furniture, at factories anywhere in India, under the same independence rules. Staff inspectors are based in six Indian cities, and vetted freelancers cover the rest of the country.
What does Clear To Load inspect?
• Textile inspection: home textiles such as bed linen, towels, cushions and curtains, and garment inspection for woven and knit apparel.
• Tile inspection: ceramic wall and floor tiles, and vitrified and porcelain tiles, checked for shade and calibre lots, warpage, glaze defects and breakage.
• Toy inspection: wooden, soft and educational toys, checked against the sample that passed lab testing.
• Rug and carpet inspection: hand-knotted, hand-tufted, flatweave and jute rugs.
It also covers ceramics and glassware, kitchenware, footwear, leather goods and home décor, with published checklists for 240 product types across 43 industries.
How does a Clear To Load inspection work?
Services include pre-production, during-production and pre-shipment inspection, container loading supervision, factory audits and lab testing coordination. Bookings are confirmed within 24 hours, and reports are sent within 24 hours of the inspection. Every inspection uses a checklist built from the buyer’s order, AQL sampling under ISO 2859-1, photographs of every defect and a supervisor review. Each report opens with one verdict: Cleared to load, Hold or Not cleared. Lab tests such as EN 71 for toys are carried out by ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories; Clear To Load draws and seals the samples.
How are the two brands related?
Both belong to Qualis INC in Jodhpur. A buyer books Qualis Assurance for furniture and Clear To Load for everything else. The sampling method and the independence rules are the same.
