Turkey Inspection Company Over to you…

Turkey inspection company – Turkey, has become a feeder country for European traders who are looking to relocate their sourcing away from Asia and China. While its labour costs may be higher compared to parts of Asia, Turkey offers quicker travel times and lower travel costs. This is one of the main reasons why it is becoming a manufacturing hub for Europe and the Middle East.

With sourcing supply chains evolving from a far-sourcing strategy to a near sourcing strategy, many firms and their staff face being inexperienced in identifying suitable turnkey manufacturers in Turkey. Not only are they faced with trying to recognise suppliers who can produce quality products at an affordable price. But companies also need to ensure that these suppliers in Turkey behave ethically towards their staff and the environment.

Many firms who are sourcing or are considering sourcing from Turkey use Third-Party Inspection firms, such as Goodada, to provide them with a “boot on the ground” service. Our inspectors can visit factories or suppliers across Turkey to check goods or verify a seller. Since 2011, Goodada has been watching out for our clients in Turkey.

What does a Turkey inspection company do?

Most global buying teams want to ensure that the goods they are sourcing from a Supplier in Turkey will meet their minimum quality and speciation expectations. So, having a Turkey inspection company that can visit any facility in Turkey to conduct product checks or supplier audits is a significant benefit. Firms often have different inspection demands. Therefore, they must work with a firm that can provide them with a broad range of Inspection Services.

Another area in which inspection companies can assist their clients is by helping them bridge any communications challenges. Inspectors can be quickly organised to meet with a Supplier to resolve any issues for a client.

So, what is a 3rd party inspection service in Turkey?

Many traders want an independent company to visit a seller’s premises in Turkey to review an order or Seller. In Turkey, a 3rd party inspection service is an outside inspection agency that has been hired to check and report on products, manufacturing processes, or the Seller.

The main types of inspection offered by a 3rd party inspection service in Turkey include:

Pre-Shipment Inspections (Completed Goods Checks)
Loading Inspections
Inbound Cargo Inspections
Production Monitoring Factory Visits
Seller and Factory Audits
Ethical Code of Conduct Audits

To get detailed information on the above services, it is worth visiting Goodada’s Inspection Services in Turkey page to get more details on the range of services.

So, explain AQL for goods sourced from Turkey.

Many firms that source goods from Turkey use AQL to manage the quality control inspection costs. AQL is also known as Acceptable Quality Limit. Acceptable Quality Limit is an internationally recognised sampling method used by sellers, buyers and quality control teams worldwide.

Many parties use AQL because it provides them with a simple approach to calculate the number of items that need to be inspected from a batch of goods. The formula will also advise the maximum number of permissible defects for that batch. Sellers like to use AQL as it reduces the cost of repacking products after an inspection. Buyers also benefit from AQL as it reduces the costs of hiring inspectors to check their products.

To learn more about AQL for goods sourced from Turkey, visit the Acceptable Quality Levels (AQL) page.

Are Turkiye Inspections and Turkey Inspections the same thing?

In 2022 the United Nations accepted a request from Turkey to change its name to Turkiye. Turkey changed its name because its government felt that the name “Turkey” caused confusion and muddled thinking among the international public. Turkey is not only the name of a bird but also non-complimentary to describe a person who is silly or stupid.

Thankfully at Goodada Inspections, we embrace change, so we have launched our Turkiye Inspection landing page to embrace this new name. However, it takes time for folks to get used to the new name, so we have retained our Turkey Inspection page.

How do I know if I am dealing with an Ethical Supplier in Turkey?

Customers and Stakeholders hold importers to very high ethical standards. People expect high ethical standards regarding the treatment of the environment, staff and the use of children in producing goods. Turkey has a questionable history, with many reports about the use of Child Labour circulating.

Companies can face an enormous backlash from their customers and staff if they are seen to source products from suppliers that exploit children or workers. To avoid this, most firms require that all suppliers sign up to a Code of Conduct Policy. It is part of their trading terms. A Code of Conduct is a statement that communicates a firm’s views, values and expectations in terms of ethics in business.

But a, issuing a statement alone is no longer acceptable for firms. They must demonstrate that they actively monitor and check their suppliers. A Code of Conduct Audit is carried out by inspection companies such as Goodada. If you require an independent supplier audit, visit Goodada’s Code of Conduct Audit page.
