Final inspection should confirm that the shipment still matches the approved SKU and release basis.
Check the production lot against the approved specification, golden sample, packaging artwork and required shipment documents before release.

Power Bank Pre-Shipment Inspection FAQ
What is a pre-shipment inspection for a power bank order?
A pre-shipment inspection checks the finished lot before release, including the exact SKU, revision, quantity, function, workmanship, accessories, packaging, labels and shipment-readiness evidence.
When should pre-shipment inspection take place?
PSI should be performed after mass production and packing are substantially complete, but before the shipment is released from the factory.
What should be checked against the purchase order?
Confirm model, revision, quantity, color, branding, accessories, packaging, carton marks and any buyer-specific requirements stated in the PO or approved specification.
Should PSI include functional testing?
Yes. The inspection should verify agreed functions such as charging input and output, ports, built-in cables, displays, buttons, wireless functions or other SKU-specific features.
How should critical defects be handled during PSI?
Critical defects should trigger hold or rejection rather than being averaged into an overall score. Safety, identity, compliance and major functional issues require clear disposition.
What happens if a lot is reworked after PSI?
Sorted, repaired or repacked units should be re-inspected on the affected criteria before final shipment release.
How should packaging be inspected before shipment?
Check the correct product-to-box match, artwork revision, labels, manuals, accessories, inner tray, carton quantity, carton marks and destination-market information.
Should transport and compliance documents be reviewed at PSI?
Yes when they are part of shipment release. Confirm that the required product, battery-transport and commercial documents correspond to the exact SKU and shipment.
What records should a PSI report contain?
Record PO, SKU, revision, lot, sampling basis, inspection items, defects, photos or measurements, disposition and final release decision.
Who should approve shipment after PSI?
Shipment release should be made by the responsible quality or commercial authority after open critical issues are closed and the inspected lot matches the approved order scope.
Preparing a Final Shipment Inspection?
Use the checklist against the exact approved SKU, packaging and document set so the shipment can be released on a traceable basis.
