01Confirm the inspection lot
Record finished product name, formula version, batch, fill date, bottle and pump references, decoration, carton version, lot quantity and packing status. Define whether samples come from one or several component or filling lots before drawing conclusions.
02Inspect bottle and fill appearance
Check cracks, chips, sharp areas, molding defects, contamination, unintended color difference, visible particles, fill consistency and bottle stability under agreed lighting. Compare fill by the specified measurement method rather than visual meniscus alone when a quantitative decision is required.
03Exercise pump and closure
Inspect neck, crimp or threaded closure, collar, gasket, dip tube and cap fit. Prime the pump using the agreed count and record no spray, weak spray, stream, sputter, sticking, leakage or cap interference. Keep spray preference separate from functional failure.
04Run defined leakage observations
Use the agreed filled-sample orientation, duration, temperature and handling conditions. Weighing before and after may support the method when equipment and tolerance are defined. Do not improvise pressure, heat or dangerous-goods tests without qualified procedures and suitable facilities.
05Review decoration and printed identity
Check coating, print, label, hot stamp or other decoration for correct artwork, position, color, adhesion appearance and damage. Verify product name, nominal fill, batch code and reviewed destination information against the approved file.
06Inspect carton and internal support
Check box dimensions, print, folds, glue, insert orientation, bottle retention, abrasion risk, seals, cellophane where used and barcode. Confirm the package opens and presents as intended without the bottle moving excessively or contacting vulnerable pump areas.
07Classify, isolate and improve
Define critical, major and minor examples with qualified safety input. Isolate leakage, broken glass, contamination, wrong identity and other serious findings. Apply the agreed sampling and lot disposition, then connect patterns to component lot, filling line, packing method or transport damage.
