Solutions
Industrial Inspection & Quality Assurance
Inspection, testing and documentation review at the points that matter, so quality issues are found at the factory rather than on your site.

Third-party inspection coordination
Coordination with independent or accredited inspection bodies where a contract, code or authority requires one.
How an inspection runs
- Agree the scope We confirm what will be inspected, against which codes, standards and documents, and what the report will contain.
- Plan We agree hold and witness points with you and the manufacturer, and schedule visits around production.
- Inspect Inspections and tests are carried out and recorded, with photographs where useful.
- Report You receive a clear report with findings, non-conformities and recommendations, so you can decide on release.
Scope and independence
Services are provided by qualified personnel, to the applicable codes and standards and within the scope agreed in writing for each project. Inspection requirements and deliverables depend on that scope.
Mekintra is not a certification body or a statutory authority. Where a project needs an accredited inspection body, a notified body or a statutory inspection, we coordinate with organisations that hold the required accreditation.
