China factory audit focus areas
A China factory audit is often used to verify a supplier found through Alibaba, trade shows, referrals, or direct sourcing. The goal is not only to see whether the factory exists, but also whether the legal entity, workshop, equipment, product line, capacity, and quality management match the buyer's risk before money is committed.
Compare the supplier name, business license, factory address, signage, and contact details.
Distinguish manufacturer, trading company, sales office, or mixed production model before deposit.
Review equipment, production line relevance, QC records, defect handling, and sample control.
Confirm whether the factory can make the buyer's product before tooling, deposit, or repeated orders.
