Facility & capacity
We verify the factory exists at the registered address, assess production lines, machinery, floor space and current workload to confirm they can handle your order.
On-site verification
Hire an On-Site Factory Auditor in China
Don't place an order based on a website and a video call. JSM Components visits the factory in person, checks licences, capacity and quality systems, and delivers a photographic audit report you can trust.
What our audit covers
Licences & certifications
Business licences, export registrations, ISO certificates and industry-specific approvals are checked against originals and official databases.
Quality management system
We review incoming QC, in-process checks, final inspection records and corrective-action processes to see if quality is controlled or accidental.
Photographic evidence
Every audit includes time-stamped photos of the factory exterior, production floor, warehouse, sample room and key equipment so you see what we see.
Social & working conditions
Optional ethical audit covering working hours, safety equipment, labour practices and environmental controls, reported against your standards.
Fraud & middleman screening
We confirm the legal entity matches the bank details and the people you are negotiating with actually work there.
What you receive
Every audit concludes with a structured report written in plain English. You can share it with stakeholders, suppliers or financiers as independent evidence.
Executive summary
A clear pass / conditional pass / fail recommendation with the top three risks and whether the factory is safe to place an order with.

Common questions
Why hire an on-site factory auditor in China?
A local auditor physically confirms the factory is real, capable and properly run before you send money or share tooling. Photos and a written report give you evidence to make a safe decision.
How long does a factory audit take?
Most audits are completed in one working day on site. You receive the draft report within 48 hours and the final report with photos shortly after.
Do I need to have already chosen the factory?
No. We can audit a factory you have found yourself or shortlist and audit several suppliers as part of our sourcing service.
What standards do you audit against?
We follow ISO 9001 principles and can tailor the checklist to your industry, including social compliance, environmental or product-specific requirements.
