CHINA FACTORY AUDIT SERVICE
China factory audits that verify supplier identity, capability and risk.
Aupeak is a Hangzhou-based China sourcing team conducting China factory audits and supplier verification for SMEs, importers and product brands. We check the registered business and operating site, the relationship between the seller and factory, product-relevant equipment and production flow, quality controls, capacity signals and visible subcontracting risks. Buyers receive photo-supported findings, red flags and open questions before tooling, deposits or supplier approval.

Review the supplier's business details, premises, manufacturing relationship and relevant documents.
- 03
Review capability and controls
Observe equipment, production, quality checks, material storage, traceability and visible subcontracting risks.

Report decision points
Separate confirmed evidence from unresolved items and recommend follow-up before sampling or order approval.
BEST FIT
When this service adds the most value.
- A new supplier before tooling, deposits or a first significant order.
- OEM or ODM projects where switching factories later would be expensive.
- Buyers who cannot verify facilities, equipment and quality systems in person.
CLEAR BOUNDARIES
01An audit evaluates the supplier; it does not replace inspection of the finished order.
02Document presence is not treated as proof that every claim applies to the exact product being sourced.
03The final scope depends on product risk, site access and information available during the visit.
SERVICE FAQ
Direct answers for buyers comparing options.
See a supplier-matching and factory-review caseWhat does a China factory audit check?
The scope can cover legal identity, premises, equipment, capacity, quality systems, documents, material control, working environment and current photo or video evidence.
Is a factory audit the same as a product inspection?
No. An audit checks the supplier and its operating system. An inspection checks a specific order against an approved product and checklist.
Is supplier verification different from a full factory audit?
A basic verification confirms business identity, the operating site and obvious risk signals. A fuller factory audit goes deeper into product-relevant equipment, capacity, materials, quality controls, traceability and production systems. Aupeak confirms the scope before the visit.
Can I book an audit without full sourcing service?
Yes. A factory visit or supplier verification can be quoted as a standalone project with agreed deliverables and timing.
Will the report tell me whether to use the factory?
The report provides evidence, risks and recommended next steps. The commercial supplier decision remains with the buyer.
