How Is Weight Testing Performed During Lighting Inspections?

While weight testing may seem simple, implementing a standardized, traceable system within the inspection process requires method and rigor.

 

1. Our Weight Testing Procedure

  1. Precision Equipment: We use digital scales with accuracy up to ±1g, suitable for different product sizes and weights.

  2. Reference Data: Each product model has pre-defined gross and net weight standards, confirmed during the prototype or first production batch.

  3. Sampling: A certain percentage (e.g., 5%–10%) of products from each batch are selected for testing.

  4. Recheck if abnormal: Any items showing abnormal results are unpacked and checked for missing components.

  5. Photo Documentation: For abnormal results, we record the weight, packaging, product batch, and other key details.

2. Frequency and Sampling Ratio

  • Weight testing is done for every shipment

  • For new clients, new models, or changed suppliers, the sampling rate is increased (10%–20%)

3. Why Do We Sample and Weigh Products?

Beyond ensuring shipping data consistency, our weight tests serve several purposes:

  • Confirm packaging completeness: Missing accessories can directly affect the function and user experience.

  • Build a product weight database: We maintain a record of standard gross/net weights for every model and version, aiding future checks.

  • Monitor for material deviations: If net weights consistently deviate from the standard, it may indicate material substitution or quality issues.

By applying a strict and systematic process, our weight testing helps ensure that every shipment is aligned with customer expectations and long-term quality control goals.
