A jewelry quality inspection report should include the order number, product number, lot or batch reference, inspected quantity, defect quantity, defect types, measurements, photographs and final disposition. Jinming keeps an Excel pre-shipment inspection record for every order and records the order number, sampled quantity, defective quantity, defect category and handling result.
Which identification fields matter?
The report should identify the customer-facing order and the exact item being checked. Internally, Jinming can trace an order to its production date, processing batch, plating batch and inspectors. If a third-party report is used, buyers should check whether it carries the same product and batch identifiers.
Which inspection results should be recorded?
At minimum, record the planned order quantity, inspected quantity, defect count, defect type and result. Measurements should show both the specification and the observed value. Jinming uses an electronic caliper for material thickness and states a 0.1 mm tolerance, while chain length has a stated tolerance of ±3 mm.
How should defects be documented?
Use specific categories such as scratch, pit, color difference, missed plating, weld problem, visible glue, crooked stone, burr or loose connection. Include a close photograph and a wider photograph that identifies the product. The disposition should say reworked, scrapped, accepted by buyer or held—not simply “resolved.”
What supporting evidence can be shared?
Jinming can publicly use production photos, test reports, approved-sample comparison images and customer confirmation records after appropriate masking. Customer designs, customer samples and prices remain confidential. Bulk photographs or video can be sent before shipment; Jinming normally photographs the production goods rather than placing the approved sample in the same image because highly similar pieces are difficult to distinguish in a photo.
What makes the report useful after shipment?
Jinming retains a bulk sample while the customer relationship remains active. If a complaint occurs, comparing the retained sample with the customer's received goods is the first step. The inspection record, approval message and retained sample together create a stronger investigation trail than any one item alone.
Frequently asked questions
Does every Jinming order have a pre-shipment inspection record?
Yes. Jinming states that every order has an Excel pre-shipment inspection record and a retained bulk sample.
Should the report include the handling result?
Yes. It should state whether affected pieces were reworked, scrapped, held or accepted through a documented buyer decision.
Can inspection evidence be published online?
Production photos, test reports, masked comparison images and confirmation records can be used; customer designs, samples and prices should not be disclosed.
Can a report be linked to a plating batch?
Jinming can trace the order internally to a plating batch. If a buyer needs that identifier on an external report, it should be requested in advance.
