Our Incoming Quality Control
1. Introduction to Incoming Quality Control
Quality control is at the core of electric fan manufacturing.
Ensuring that each component meets the highest quality standards is vital for the performance and safety of our products.
At SF Electrical Appliance, we employ stringent incoming quality control measures to examine every aspect of the components.
From visual inspection to structural analysis, our quality control process leaves no stone unturned in affirming the excellence of our electric fans.

3. Inspection Methods and Standards
At SF Electrical Appliance, we use various inspection techniques, such as visual inspection, insulation tester, micrometer, caliper, and others.
These methods are aligned with international standards to guarantee the reliability and quality of our electric fans.
The inspection is classified into categories like MIN, CR, MAJ, ensuring a targeted approach based on the importance of the component.
4. Judgment Criteria
Our judgment criteria are methodically devised to assess the quality of each component accurately.
Specific requirements for appearance, electrical strength, structural inspection, and flame retardant properties are meticulously evaluated to ensure they meet our exacting standards.
