Assess the quality of your product materials and workmanship, using a number of quality control checks and tests, including:
| Barcode scanning test | Instruction manual check |
| Accessories check | Assembly check |
| Function Check | Fatigue test/Power switch on/off 5 times |
| Frequency response test | Manual Shock test |
| Wobble test | Impedance check for speaker |
| Perform earth continuity test if applicable | Hi-pot test if applicable |
| Sensitivity test for speaker | Sound pressure level |
| S/N ratio check | Signal to noise ratio check |
| LR channel polarity test | Internal check |
| Rub test and adhesive test | carton drop test |
| Lithium battery charge and discharge tests if applicable | product’s testing certificates |
| AC power plug fixing check | Input voltage check |
Bluetooth Speakers Function Check
- 1. Bluetooth wireless audio playback
- 2. TF card audio playback if applicable
- 3. Hands-free function check if applicable
- 4. Bluetooth compatibility test with various Mobile phone
- 5. Others function according to the client’s spec or instruction manual
Bluetooth Speakers Internal check
All Internal wiring should be routed to provide sufficient creepage and clearance distances and to so as to avoid damage to the insulation. All screws should be found, they should be fully tightened and with no damage to the screw heads. Check that anti-tamper screws are used when required. Request at least one picture to show the whole construction of the product. Compare the components with CDF and list out any difference
