Inspection
Third-party & supplier inspection
Independent inspection for buyers who need an impartial view of their suppliers, shipments and deliveries.
Third-party inspection puts an independent inspector between buyer and supplier. Its value comes from independence: the inspector has no interest in the outcome.
BVS operates inspection on the Type A model of ISO/IEC 17020 — fully independent of the parties involved.
