SGS: Product inspection, testing or supplier assessment service.

Evaluation priorities

Scope the precise inspection, testing or certification requirement with the service provider. Confirm the applicable standard, sample requirements and report deliverables.

Establish who sells the product, who invoices your business and who handles delivery. Compare seller eligibility, product restrictions, catalogue controls, fees, returns and payment protection. Calculate landed cost and contribution margin for the target country before committing inventory.

Decision record

Document the requirements that were checked, the offer date and any unanswered questions. This profile is a product research guide; it does not claim a completed purchase or a measured performance test.
