Quality Assurance & Compliance

At Ngoc Dong Ha Nam, quality is not just a department—it is the foundation of our manufacturing process. With years of experience supplying major global retailers (including Walmart, Target, Costco, and Lidl), we have developed a rigorous QA/QC framework to ensure every piece of acacia wood, rattan, and seagrass meets international standards.

1. Raw Material Management

  • Sourcing: We use high-quality, legally sourced materials. Our acacia wood material is seasoned and kiln-dried to a moisture content of 8–12% to prevent warping or cracking during transit and usage.
  • Compliance: We ensure our materials comply with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) standards for sustainable forest management and REACH regulations for chemical safety.

2. Rigorous QC Process

We implement a 4-stage inspection process for every production cycle:

  • IQC (Incoming Quality Control): Inspection of all raw materials and hardware before they enter the production line.
  • IPQC (In-Process Quality Control): Continuous monitoring at key stages—cutting, sanding, assembly, and finishing—to catch defects early.
  • FQC (Final Quality Control): A 100% inspection of finished goods for moisture levels, structural integrity, and aesthetic consistency.
  • OQC (Outgoing Quality Control): A final random sampling based on AQL (Acceptable Quality Level) 2.5/4.0 standards before the container is sealed.

3. Factory Audits & Social Compliance

We understand that ethical manufacturing is a priority for our B2B partners. Our facility is regularly audited and compliant with:

  • BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative): Ensuring fair labor practices and safe working conditions.
  • SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit): Demonstrating our commitment to social and environmental excellence.
  • C-TPAT: Adhering to supply chain security standards for the US market.

4. Product Testing & Safety

Our products are tested to meet the specific safety requirements of the destination market:

  • Food Safety: For kitchenware and tableware, we ensure compliance with FDA (USA) and LFGB (EU) standards for food-contact safety.
  • Durability Testing: We conduct internal stress tests on items like bath towers and furniture to ensure long-term structural durability.
  • Droptest: We conduct droptest for ISTA1A, ISTA3A or labtest ISTA6A as per customer request.

5. Third-Party Inspections

We maintain an "Open Factory" policy. We welcome and encourage third-party inspections from world-renowned agencies such as SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas (BV), Europhin or QIMA at any stage of production.
