Checked per batch, photographed per batch
Inspecting store one proves nothing about store nine. So the checks run on every production batch, against the sample in the archive.

01Three points in the line
Incoming: tube wall measured, plywood thickness measured, fabric checked against the reserved dye lot. In-line: weld penetration at the four joints, frame square within 2 mm, shell fit. Pre-shipment: complete piece assembled, load tested, packed, photographed.
Load is 150 kg static on the complete chair or table, held for a minute and released, then checked for permanent deformation at the joint and at the base plate.
02What a batch record holds
Date, wave, model codes, quantities, powder batch, fabric lot, the inspector's name, and twelve photographs per model. It goes to the brand with the shipping documents rather than on request.
Two per cent of chairs and glides are pulled into the spare stock of the same batch, so a replacement matches the delivery it came from.
03Ask for the batch record
We do not hold third-party furniture certification, and this site does not cite one. If your market requires a specific fire or structural certificate, say so at specification stage and the answer will be either a test you can commission or a clear no.
?Questions
Can we send an inspector?
Yes, at any of the three points. Third-party inspection is arranged by the buyer and we book the slot.
Do you test upholstery for wear?
The fabric comes with its own Martindale figure from the mill, and the figure goes on the sheet. We do not re-test it.
What happens if a batch fails?
It does not ship. The fault is fixed, the batch is re-inspected and the brand gets both records, including the failed one.
Send the plan for the next twelve openings
Store count, opening dates and the floor plan are enough to start. What comes back is a wave schedule, a quantity per unit and one sheet with every line on it.
