Compliance & Quality
Our Compliance Philosophy
Zelong does not hold abrasive industry certifications in our own name β because we are a trading partner, not a factory. Instead, we require every partner factory to maintain the following certifications, and we keep copies on file:
| Certification | Standard | Required From | Applicable Products |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO 9001:2015 | Quality Management System | All partner factories | All products |
| MPA EN 12413 | Bonded abrasive safety (Germany) | Cutting & grinding disc factories | Cutting discs, grinding discs |
| CE EN 13743 | Coated abrasive flap disc safety (EU) | Flap disc factories | Flap discs |
| ISO 525 | Bonded abrasive definitions | Disc factories | All discs |
| FEPA | Grain size compliance | All factories | All products |
Our Factory Audit Process
Before a factory becomes a Zelong partner, we conduct:
- Documentation audit β Business license, export license, ISO/cert certificates, previous export records
- On-site visit β Production line inspection, QC equipment check, management interview
- Sample evaluation β Production samples vs specifications, in-house test (speed, balance, side load)
- Trial order β Small bulk order before full partnership; QC inspection at goods ready stage
We re-audit partner factories annually, or immediately upon any quality incident.
In-line Quality Control
For every bulk order, we conduct (or hire a third-party QC firm to conduct) pre-shipment inspection:
- Visual & dimensional inspection (random sampling per AQL)
- Speed testing (80 m/s, 100 m/s for discs)
- Side load / breakage testing (cutting discs)
- Balance testing
- Lot-traceability verification (raw material β finished goods)
Inspection reports are shared with you before the goods leave the factory. If anything fails, we hold the shipment and demand rework β at the factory’s cost.
Documents Provided With Every Shipment
- Commercial Invoice β from Hubei Zelong
- Packing List β combined across all factories in the order
- Bill of Lading
- Certificate of Origin β Form A / E / F / RCEP per request
- Test Report β per batch, from the producing factory
- ISO / MPA / CE copies β from the producing factory
- Insurance Certificate β for CIF / DDP shipments
Third-Party Inspection
For larger orders (typically significant value), we recommend third-party pre-shipment inspection by:
- SGS
- Bureau Veritas
- TΓV
- Asia Inspection (Asia Sourcing Group)
Inspection cost is borne by the buyer (typically on request (quote-based)). Third-party inspection reports are accepted by all our partner factories for claim purposes.
