For materials made of steel, copper, bronze, etc., the inspection process will include the inspection and confirmation of dimensions, weight, and dimensions.
Weight Check and Size Measurement

The purpose of this inspection process is to verify that each bathroom hardware product inspected has the same weight, installation, and specifications, and is consistent with the technical specifications specified by the customer and before production.
Inspectors randomly sample and inspect the finished bathroom hardware products, and confirm that the product measurement results are within the specified weight/size limit capacity to ensure that all products can be used reliably before shipment.
