QUALITY CONTROL
Consistency Starts With a Written Specification.
Polyurethane foam should not be approved by appearance or hand feel alone. We confirm the agreed material, dimensions, application, and inspection criteria before production.
Inspection framework
Define what matters before the batch is made.
Density & hardness
Target values, test method, sampling plan, and acceptance range are agreed for the product and application.
Rebound & recovery
Response after compression is reviewed together with density and hardness rather than treated as a stand-alone claim.
Mechanical performance
Where applicable, checks can include tensile strength, tear resistance, compression set, and fatigue performance.
Dimensional control
Custom-cut parts are checked against the approved drawing or sample, with tolerance reviewed for the material and geometry.
Traceability
Support for batch-level follow-up.
Batch identification helps investigate a performance concern after delivery. Product labels, spray-stamped codes, inspection records, or related production references may be used according to the agreed order process.
Market requirements
Standards must match the application and destination.
Examples may include CA117 for selected US furniture applications, BS5852, BS7176, or BS7177 for selected UK applications, and FMVSS 302 for automotive materials. The exact standard, test scope, laboratory, documentation, and acceptance criteria must be confirmed before production.
Third-party testing
Independent testing can be discussed at quotation stage.
Where required, third-party testing and supporting documentation can be arranged subject to laboratory availability, cost, lead time, sample preparation, and the selected standard.
Prepare your quality request
Share the details that determine the inspection plan.
Please provide the product application, destination market, drawing or sample, target density and hardness, dimensions, quantity, required test standard, documentation needs, and any special packaging or labeling requirements.
