A clear approval baseline reduces misunderstandings between development and production. The final system must reflect Miaolian’s actual documentation practices.
Client approval does not replace manufacturer quality responsibilities, and manufacturer checks do not replace the brand owner’s destination-market obligations.
Link approved material lots to the production batch and record issued quantities, status and reconciliation where applicable Procedure details.
Record applicable time, temperature, mixing, homogenization, cooling or holding controls according to the approved process Procedure details.
Define workshop hygiene, cleaning, personnel, water, air or environmental-monitoring controls that are genuinely implemented Procedure details.
Confirm previous product, component and document removal before a new filling or packaging run Procedure details.
Set the sampling frequency, test item, method, acceptance limit and responsible role for each product type Quality details.
Identify, segregate, assess and document deviations or nonconforming materials before release decisions Procedure details.
Packaging quality must be assessed against the actual component, decoration method, artwork and shipping configuration.
| Check item | Examples | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Component identity | Bottle, jar, tube, pump, cap, carton and insert | Procedure details |
| Fill / count | Net content, fill range, piece count or set configuration | Quality details |
| Closure integrity | Cap, pump, seal, crimp, leakage or torque where applicable | Procedure details |
| Decoration & label | Position, adhesion, print, color, code and artwork version | Procedure details |
| Appearance | Scratches, contamination, damage, deformation or assembly issues | Procedure details |
| Carton & shipper | SKU, batch/lot, quantity, marks and packing method | Procedure details |
Inspect the product and packaging against the approved specification and confirm agreed test results are complete Procedure details.
Compile material, manufacturing, filling, inspection, reconciliation and release records under a unique batch reference Procedure details.
Retain identified samples under defined conditions for a documented period Procedure details.
Define who reviews records, evaluates deviations and authorizes release or rejection Procedure details.
Confirm released status, correct SKU/batch, cartons, quantities and agreed shipment presentation Procedure details.
COA, batch documents, inspection records or customer copies are supplied only within the agreed scope Quality details.
| Party | Typical responsibility | Must be agreed |
|---|---|---|
| Miaolian / manufacturer | Manufacture and inspect against approved specifications and verified procedures | Exact test and documentation scope Quality details |
| Brand owner | Approve product concept, formula/sample, packaging, artwork, claims and commercial requirements | Approval authority and version control |
| Importer / responsible party | Verify destination-market notification, labeling, claims and regulatory obligations | Country-specific responsibilities |
| Third-party laboratory or consultant | Complete agreed external testing, assessment or registration work | Provider, method, cost, timing and report ownership |
COA availability, content and release criteria depend on the product and agreed documentation scope Quality details.
The applicable checks, test items and frequency must be confirmed from actual product specifications and company procedures Procedure details.
The retention period, quantity, storage conditions and disposal process require company confirmation Quality details.
Approval stages can be discussed, but the exact pre-production, pilot or first-off approval process depends on the project Quality details.
