  • Does the factory have a documented quality manual defining its quality policy, objectives, and outlining high-level quality operations? Moreover, have these contents been clearly communicated to and understood by the management staff?

2.2 操作程序与工作指导

• 与此相关的，工厂是否制定了文件化的操作程序与必要的工作指导，以确保操作的一致性和结果的有效性？相关人员是否充分理解这些文件？

  • Correspondingly, are there documented operation procedures and necessary work instructions to guide consistent operations and achieve expected results? And are these documents well-understood by relevant employees?

2.3 文件控制流程

• 工厂是否对文件（包括外部标准、内部技术规格、图纸、BOM及标准样品等）实施了适当的控制，如评审、批准、分发和变更管理？

  • Does the factory properly control documents (including external standards, and internal technical documents like specs, drawings, BOMs, and standard samples) through review and approval, distribution, change control, etc.?

2.4 记录管理要求

• 在此基础上，工厂是否明确了各项质量活动所需的记录类型及其保存期限？

  • Building upon this, has the factory clearly defined the types of quality records required for various operations and their retention periods?

2.5 记录保存实践

• 工厂是否对质量记录进行了妥善保存，确保其标识清晰、存储环境适宜且易于检索？

  • Are quality records properly maintained, with clear identification, kept in the right environment, and easily retrievable?

2.6 质量部门职能

• 关键一点是，工厂是否设立了独立的质量部门，并授权QA/QC人员对产品与物料进行检验及采取必要控制措施？

  • Critically, does the factory have an independent Quality Department, with authorized QA/QC personnel to inspect products and materials and take necessary quality assurance actions?

2.7 培训体系规划

• 工厂是否为全体员工及QA/QC人员制定了完善的培训计划，内容涵盖产品知识、工艺流程、检验测试及设备操作等？

  • Does the factory have a well-planned and implemented training program for all workforce and QA/QC personnel, covering product knowledge, production processes, inspection & testing, and the correct operation of equipment?

2.8 人员知识评估

• 最终， 在线生产与QA/QC人员是否对产品、物料的质量要求及生产工艺具备足够的知识？

  • Ultimately, do the on-job production and QA/QC personnel have adequate knowledge of the quality requirements for the products, relevant materials, and production processes?

Section 3: Product Development Control

3.1 市场法规知识

• 工厂是否了解产品在目标市场（如美/加/欧/日）的安全与法规要求（如CARB、CA Prop 65）？

  • *Does the factory possess good knowledge of the safety and regulatory requirements in the US/CA/EU/JP markets for its product type, such as CARB and CA Prop 65?*

3.2 客户需求评审

• 在产品开发初期，工厂是否有流程与客户共同评审并确定产品要求（包括规格、性能、安全及耐久性等）？

  • During the initial product development phase, does the factory have a process to review and define product requirements with customers, covering specifications, performance, safety, durability, etc.?

3.3 DFMEA知识储备

• 工厂的工程/产品开发团队是否接受过培训，了解如何在产品开发中应用DFMEA（设计失效模式分析）？

  • Is the factory’s Engineering/PD team trained and knowledgeable on how to apply Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) in product development?

3.4 DFMEA风险评估

• 实际上，工厂是否在开发阶段组织DFMEA，以评估产品风险并识别关键质量特性？

  • In practice, does the factory organize DFMEA during product development to assess risks and identify Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) characteristics?

3.5 产品开发计划

• 工厂是否制定了详细的产品开发计划，明确产品结构/功能、所需物料/部件、样机制作及设计评审/验证安排？

  • Does the factory have a detailed product development plan outlining product construction/functions, required materials/components, prototype sample making, and design review/verification arrangements?

3.6 风险消除与CTQ加强
