How we ensure quality
From raw material inspection to final pressure testing —every product goes through a rigorous quality chain.
-
Raw Material Inspection
Every roll of PVC fabric is tested for thickness, tensile strength, and UV resistance before entering production.
-
In-Process QC
Weld seams, valve installations, and chamber bonds are inspected at each station during assembly.
-
Pressure Testing
Every inflatable product is inflated to 1.5x rated PSI and held for 24 hours to verify air retention and seam integrity.
-
Final Inspection
Each unit is inspected for finish, hardware, and packaging before being approved for shipment. Batch samples go to our lab for destructive testing.

Our 12,000 m² Qingdao facility is open to third-party audits. We maintain BSCI social compliance certification and welcome customer inspections.
