Visual inspection and quality check support in Tokyo
We check goods by eye against the criteria you set and sort them into pass, hold and reject, for a fixed price confirmed before we start.
What a visual check is for
A visual check looks for what the eye and hand can find: a scratch, a dent, a stain, a missing part, a wrong colour, a torn package, a smudged print, a loose label, the wrong item in the box. It is a screening step that stops obvious faults from reaching your customer. It is not a laboratory test, and we say so in the quote. If your standard depends on measurement or instruments, you tell us, and we confirm what can be checked by eye and what cannot.
Write the criteria as pictures
The most reliable criteria are shown, not described. A photo of an acceptable item next to an unacceptable one, with a short label saying why, removes most doubt. Give us the defect types you care about, the size or visibility at which a defect counts, and what to do with borderline cases. Our supervisor reads the criteria back to you by message and walks the team through your photos before the first item is inspected.
Three piles: pass, hold, reject
Every item ends up in one of three places. Pass goes forward to your next step. Reject is set aside with the reason noted. Hold is for the borderline items the criteria do not clearly decide, and these are photographed and listed for you. The team does not make up its own standard when a case is unclear. You decide on the held items after seeing the photos, and we apply your decision to the rest of the batch.
Every item or a sample
You can ask for every item to be checked, or for a sample drawn from each carton or lot. For a sample check, tell us how the sample is chosen and how many to take, and what to do if a defect appears, for instance widening the check on that lot. We follow the plan you set and report what we did. We do not decide on our own how deep to inspect, because that decision depends on your customer and your risk.
Counting and recording the results
Along with the check, we can count what passed, what was held and what was rejected, per carton or per lot, and record the defect type for each reject in a simple list. Photographs of typical rejects are included in the report. This gives you something to send back to your supplier or to keep on file. If you want the list laid out in a particular column order, send us an example and we follow it.
How a contracted task works for inspection
You define the task, the criteria, the quantity, the deadline and the standard. Our own supervisor directs the team on site and is accountable for the result. Your staff do not give instructions to individual members of our team, and we do not place people under your direction. The price is fixed for the batch or the agreed period and is confirmed by message before work begins, so you can plan the cost of a check in advance.
Quoting by quantity and photos
To price an inspection we need the number of items or cartons, the type of goods, the criteria with photographs, the deadline and a view of where the work will happen. A photograph of a few typical items shows us how long each check takes in practice, which informs the team we plan to send. We reply with one fixed price within one hour, and if the criteria change after the quote, we agree the difference by message before continuing.
Limits we state openly
We do not use test instruments, measure electrical or mechanical performance, or judge whether a product meets a legal or safety standard. Hazardous, temperature-controlled and regulated pharmaceutical goods are outside our work, as is food that needs a licence to handle. We also do not operate forklifts or heavy machinery. Where a check needs a qualification we do not claim, we say so, and you can decide whether the visual screening is still useful.
Following your site rules
The supervisor is briefed on your site safety rules, lighting arrangements for the check and any clean-handling requirements before the team starts. Tell us if gloves, a clean table or a particular area are needed. We bring in only what the task requires, we keep the inspection area tidy, and we hand back a clear area with the goods staged by result.
Reporting, correction and areas
The report by message gives counts per result, photos of rejects and held items, and notes on anything unusual. If something was not checked to the agreed standard and you report it within 24 hours, we put it right at no extra cost. We work across the 23 wards, Chiba, Saitama, Kanagawa, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma, with travel stated before confirmation outside the 23 wards, in English or Japanese, with our operations partner Global Access Co., Ltd.

Frequently asked questions
Can you inspect against photos of acceptable and unacceptable items?
Yes. Photos with short notes are the best form of criteria, and our supervisor walks the team through them before the first item.
What happens to borderline items?
They go into a hold pile, are photographed and listed for you, and you decide how the rest of the batch should treat them.
Do you test performance or safety standards?
No. Our check is visual screening only. We tell you in the quote what can and cannot be judged by eye.
Can you inspect only a sample from each carton?
Yes, if you give us the sampling plan. We follow it and report exactly what was checked.
