Eurolab conducts audits of manufacturing facilities worldwide, offering an independent evaluation of a factory's quality systems and its ability to consistently produce high-quality footwear. After all, quality footwear originates from quality manufacturing environments. Evaluating a facility’s quality, procedures, and systems requires skilled auditors, and Eurolab provides a thorough inspection program based on statistical analysis of finished goods (sampling according to ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, ISO 2859, BS 6001). Our inspectors randomly select finished products to compare against agreed criteria, reporting their findings based on predetermined Acceptance Quality Levels (AQL).
