The hardline industry is incredibly diverse, and as such, quality control and assurance can vary across different manufacturing processes. With everything from toys to furniture falling under the hardline banner, it’s easy to understand why standards are varied and complex dependent on the destination market. At Global Inspection Managing, our online platform is designed to make it simple for hardline importers to use bespoke checklists to ensure products meet all relevant safety requirements. These checklists can then be cross-referenced by on-site auditors to ensure each unique product you import is produced to comply with international safety standards.
We’re on-hand to help hardline importers around the world to safely source products and avoid having to experience the on-cost of producing/receiving defective items. We do this by providing several customisable checklists which are specific to hardline products. These include:
Inner structural reviews
Endurance and performance tests
PCB and circuitry assembly checks
Safety testing
Workmanship auditing
Visual and functional criteria matching
At Global Inspection Managing, the safety and quality of your hardline products is our priority. Therefore, while preparing for product inspection, we don’t just ensure that your products are compliant – we’ll also ensure you’re getting the best possible results from your suppliers. In addition to this, we offer the following:

At Holam, we appreciate the work of GIM, thanks to the quality of their service and the flexibility of their reports, which fully meet our needs. The quality of their work is combined with their reports, which are always explicit and address all the specifics of our products. With GIM, the inspections are as if we were doing them ourselves.
GIM provides us with inspection reports for our clients from the jewelry industry, my products are mainly made of wood (displays, and boxes). I like to work with GIM for their efficiency, attention to details, and reliability in their inspection results.
After multiple problems in our book productions, we asked GIM to inspect each of our book productions in China. Their service and follow-up is excellent and we are now also working with them in Vietnam.
We are a company specializing in the distribution of gift products in France. GIM was able to meet the scope of our needs, both in terms of "sourced products" and in negotiations with Chinese suppliers to enable us to obtain reasonable quantities allowing us to expand our range of products. GIM was able to guide us in its research by monitoring the entire production line all the way to quality control. Their ability to listen, their service and their professionalism are qualities that we found in GIM.
