- Before production
Review agreed inputs and readiness before work begins.

Observe relevant product and process conditions during production.
- Before shipment
Check the available lot and evidence before the shipment decision.
01
Start with the decision
FRI is most useful before payment, release or shipment. It describes the sampled lot at the inspection time and is not a legal guarantee for every unit.
02
When FRI alone is not enough
For new factories, new products, long production cycles or high process risk, add pre-production or during-production control.
03
Prepare before booking
Provide order quantities, specifications, packaging/label files, approved references and defect-classification rules.
