Generally speaking, there are 9 indicators for paper towel quality inspection: appearance, quantitative, whiteness, lateral liquid absorption height, lateral tensile index, average vertical and horizontal softness, holes, dustiness, microorganisms and other indicators.

1.Appearance

The appearance of toilet paper, including the appearance of packaging and paper towels. When choosing toilet paper, first check the outer packaging. The packaging seal of the product shall be neat and firm without damage; the package shall be printed with the name of the manufacturer, the date of production, the product grade (superior product, first-class product, qualified product), the adoption standard number, and the implemented hygiene standard number (GB20810 – 2006).

Secondly, check the appearance of the paper. It is clean. There are no obvious dead folds, incompleteness, breakage, hard blocks, grass bands, pulp and other paper diseases and impurities. There should be no serious hair loss or powder loss when using the paper. There should be no residual printing ink in the paper.

2.Quantitative

It means that the weight or number of sheets is not enough. According to the standard, for products with a net content of 50 grams to 100 grams, the negative deviation must not exceed 4.5 grams; for products with 200 grams to 300 grams, the tolerance must not exceed 9 grams.

3.Whiteness

Toilet paper is not as white as possible, it may be that an excessive amount of fluorescent bleach is added. Fluorescent agents are the main cause of dermatitis in women, and long-term use may cause cancer. How to tell whether there is an excessive amount of fluorescent bleach? First of all, it should be natural ivory white with the naked eye, or if the toilet paper is exposed to ultraviolet light (such as a banknote detector), if blue fluorescence appears, it is proved to contain a fluorescent agent. And if the brightness is too low, it will not affect the use of toilet paper, but it means that the raw materials used are poor, so try not to choose this kind of product.

4.Water absorption

You can put water droplets on it to see how fast it absorbs. The faster the speed, the better the water absorption.

5. Horizontal tensile index:

It’s the toughness of paper. Is it easy to crack when used. Pure wood pulp paper has long fiber, high tensile strength, good toughness, and is not easy to break.

6. Softness

This is an important indicator of toilet paper products. Good toilet paper should give people a soft and comfortable feeling. The main factors affecting the softness of toilet paper are the fiber raw material and creping process of toilet paper. Generally speaking, cotton pulp is better than wood pulp, wood pulp is better than wheat straw pulp, and toilet paper with excessive softness feels rough in use.

7. Holes

The perforation index is a limit requirement for the number of perforations on the wrinkled toilet paper. The perforations will affect the use of the paper. The wrinkle toilet paper with too many perforations not only has a poor appearance, but also easily breaks during use, affecting the wiping effect.

8.Dust degree

In simple terms, there is not much dust on the paper. If the raw material is wood pulp, the degree of dust is not a problem. However, if the recycled paper is used as a raw material and the process is not handled properly, it will be difficult to meet the dust standard.

9.Microbes

All in all, good toilet paper is generally natural milky white or ivory, with fine and uniform texture, clean paper surface, no holes, no obvious dead creases, dust, raw grass, etc., while low-grade toilet paper looks dark gray and has Impurities. Touch it with your hands, the toilet paper will lose powder, color, or even hair.

In recent years, more and more customer inspection cases, has gradually become the existence of a lot of foreign trade enterprises habit. In spite of this, there are still many foreign trade enterprises which are misunderstanding on customers’ inspection requirement. In fact, the customer inspection requirement is not our imagination of so bad or so terrible, on the contrary, customer inspection, is also a good way to show supplier’s production power, therefore, in order to the long-term development of the enterprise, when we are faced with customers inspection requirements, don’t appear too panic, also do not appear too lost, as long as we do a good job, strive to make our enterprise management summarized  it will be ok. Below are points to help you in the situation.

One, usually do a good job of improving and upgrading the production of the enterprise

Why do customers implement factory inspection? Its main purpose is, of course, to further determine the internal strength level of a foreign trade enterprise, because only by cooperating with a high-level foreign trade enterprise can the customer obtain a stable and reliable supply of products. Therefore, in order to effectively pass the customer inspection assessment, our own strength is quite important. “Strike iron also need their own hard”, no matter how the customer factory inspection, as long as our strength is strong enough, then through the customer inspection plant is also very easy. Therefore, it is very important to improve our own strength level. We should integrate such promotion and improvement work into our daily work practice, constantly learn from it, strengthen management, and strive to achieve scientific norms and guidance for enterprise production management.

Two, make certain preparation

Even if the foreign trade enterprises usually do well, in order to effectively pass the customer inspection assessment, we still have to do a certain amount of preparation, otherwise we have the strength, but because of some small details and failed to pass the customer inspection assessment, then we are not worth the loss. Under normal circumstances, the customer inspection, generally come from two aspects of hardware and software, so if the foreign trade enterprises have enough confidence to grasp through the enterprise inspection appraisal, still cannot treat STH lightly at this moment, should be within the scope of the budget allows, in advance of their hardware and software support for a reflection and introspection, completes the corresponding correction work, to fight for at the time of inspection of customers, give customers a good impression, and thus promote bilateral trade cooperation smoothly.

Three, want to achieve the promotion on the idea

Different foreign trade enterprises hold different views on the matter of customer inspection. Some foreign trade enterprises hate it deeply, fear it and refuse the customer’s request for inspection. Such foreign trade enterprises actually shut their business out. Some foreign trade enterprises for the customer inspection fear that they can not pass the customer inspection of the factory, the whole customer inspection of the factory for them like torture pain, in fact, these situations are ultimately a matter of concept. In fact, the customer inspection is a win-win good ah, customers can make friends with you such a good business partner, at the same time after the completion of the inspection will give you some production improvement advice, this for foreign trade production enterprises themselves, is also a favorable thing ah. Therefore, foreign trade enterprises should take the initiative to change their concept of customer inspection, and strive to promote the whole concept to develop in a positive direction.

Four, positive acceptance

Finally, in fact, the customer inspection is to examine the normal for foreign trade company, as a foreign trade company completely don’t panic, as long as do their share of the work, actively accept in idea, in practice, the better to participate in the customer in the practice operation of inspection, to promote the entire customer inspection smoothly and inspection qualified by itself, eventually to promote bilateral trade cooperation smoothly.

Advantages and disadvantages of trading company:

Disadvantage

1. More and more international buyers tend to purchase directly from manufacturers to obtain price advantages.
2. Manufacturers develop increased awareness of foreign customers. Many factories have begun to develop independently while cooperating with trading companies. Coupled with the adjustment of national policies, the export right of foreign trade has been changed from the original approval system to the registration system, and factory exports have gradually become a domestic climate.
3. The trading company does not have its own factory, there is no advantage in price, and the competitiveness of other domestic suppliers is weak.

Advantage

1. The advantage of a trading company without its own factory is that all factories in China can be their own factories. Customers’ needs are often diversified and personalized. Generally, a single factory is often difficult to meet customer requirements. The advantage of a trading company is Maximize the advantages of domestic factories to achieve customer needs.
2. Analyze the advantages of trading companies by analyzing the characteristics of international buyers and the disadvantages of factories.

International buyers are divided into 4 categories:

a. A multinational company with a procurement department in China that employs domestic procurement staff. Such companies generally purchase directly from factories or from powerful distributors. They know China very well, and the products they purchase tend to be finished products.
b. There is no purchasing department in China, but the person in charge is responsible for purchasing in China. Such companies know or understand the Chinese market very well. They have more or less experience in purchasing in China. They tend to shop around, and high outrageous prices are likely to be eliminated. Such a buyer does not necessarily choose the one with the lowest price, but will use the lowest price to find the supplier he thinks is the best service, hoping that they will accept the price.
c. Small and medium-sized enterprises that have purchasing desires in China but lack experience. Such companies are often the main target of foreign trade companies in the current situation. First of all, they often do not have a person responsible for purchasing in China. They cannot invest too much energy. The needs of customers are often diversified. The products of a factory often cannot meet the requirements of customers. This requires trading companies to take on the responsibility of integrating domestic factories to meet guest needs.
d. Have not considered purchasing in China and have no purchasing experience. The potential of this development seems relatively small, but not all. Some customers have never considered purchasing in China, but when they receive a sales letter, they just have a new project at hand, so just take a look. If the first cooperation is smooth, a long-term cooperative relationship will be established.

Disadvantages of manufacturers:

Although most domestic factories currently have a direct export tendency and have their own salemen, they still have many disadvantages:

A. Insufficient experience. Many trading departments are newly established, and salemen are also novices who only speak English. They lack experience and lack foreign trade leaders with rich experience in trading.
B. Poor ability to judge risk. Of course, everyone is afraid of encountering scams and the like, but they are more afraid than trading companies. Because there is no experience, people who can take the board often can not speak English, and people who can speak English often can not take the board. This cumbersome communication process hinders the factory’s foreign trade route is smooth.
C. Less investment. Although factories want to export, they are often afraid, unwilling or not knowing how to invest. Foreign trade needs investment. And if there is no input, how can there be output?
D. The factory’s products are single and can not meet the diverse needs of some customers.

Airpods is currently the world’s highest-selling wireless headset, and it is also one of Apple’s “explosive” products, occupying nearly 60% of the market share; and according to data from the survey agency Counterpoint, including other wireless headset brands, Shipments will soar from 48 million pairs in 2018 to 129 million pairs in 2020. The “Nikkei Asian Review” pointed out that this strong growth situation has given Apple the opportunity to accelerate the diversification of production areas without reducing production.

U.S. giants may trial production in Vietnam, many U.S. companies fall into hesitation: reluctant to Chinese market.

However, due to Vietnam’s relatively good geographical location and lower cost advantages, Apple has frequently shifted its focus to Vietnam recently. Japanese media pointed out that Apple is planning to transfer 15% -30% of the company’s hardware capacity to Southeast Asian countries, and is evaluating the possible cost impact. At the same time, the impact of this production line transfer to the entire supply chain is also expected. Will appear in 2 to 3 years.

Vietnam’s production disadvantages stand out

Vietnam’s presence in the face of Apple has become stronger and stronger, but can the former really provide Apple with an irreplaceable supply chain? According to the Vietnam People’s Daily, Vietnamese companies currently only participate in processing and assembly business, especially small and medium-sized enterprises currently only 25% of them participate in the global supply chain, while in other countries, the number is 46%, which also leads to the country’s added value of processing At a lower level. In other words, Apple will transfer some hardware capacity to Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, which may not be able to “load”.

On the other hand, Hong Kong’s “South China Morning Post” reported earlier this month that many Chinese and foreign companies are currently moving factories to Southeast Asia, but in fact, the business environment in Southeast Asia is becoming more complicated, especially when many foreign investors are currently in Vietnam. Waiting countries encountered various difficulties in investment. The report bluntly said: The economies and markets of Southeast Asian countries are small, but the corresponding risks are not small.

For example, Vietnam ’s labor costs are constantly rising. At present, the monthly salary of local workers has risen to US $ 140-US $ 180, which is more than ten times that of a decade ago. In addition, the working efficiency of Vietnamese workers is not greater than that of Chinese workers. Gap, which causes companies to incur additional time costs. Therefore, according to foreign media reports, many American companies relocating to Southeast Asian countries have “regretted” and are planning to withdraw from the area. Some US companies have even stated that they “will not be willing to accept the Chinese market.”

There is no doubt that China has become world factory for decades. Many buyers from worldwide must be concerned about whether the package/goods they will receive from China will be contaminated by 2019nCoV or not. We as inspection company care about this point too, as our inspectors will touch the cartons/goods to conduct the inspection. We check with World Health Organization (WHO), and are glad to see the Question and Answer dated on 1 Feb 2020 from WHO official twitter account.

Q: Is it safe to receive a letter or a package from China?

A: Yes, it is safe. People receiving packages from China are not at risk of contracting #2019nCoV.
From previous analysis, we know coronaviruses do not survive long on objects, such as letters or packages.

https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1223532656778010624 you can scroll down from this webpage on twitter for this info and other questions/answers concerned about #2019nCoV.

Every city has its own mirror image, especially quanzhou, fujian province.

Quanzhou: its GDP reached 846.8 billion yuan in 2018, ranking first in fujian province and 18th in China.

See the industry quanzhou: textile and apparel, footwear, petrochemical, machinery and equipment, more than seven hundred billion yuan industrial clusters, there is a large number of household name market brands;

Quanzhou: urban per capita disposable income of 46111 yuan, rural per capita disposable income of 20277 yuan, per capita park green area of 14.6 square meters;

There are ecological quanzhou, cultural quanzhou, ancient city quanzhou, and so on.

Mirror image is hard to exhaust, but the pursuit is consistent. Quanzhou municipal party committee secretary Kang Tao told the daily news, from the early stage of reform and opening to the hard work to get rich, to the new era of comprehensive implementation of new development concept, in-depth implementation of the “flexible mechanism, industry, and the people rich, ecological beauty” in a new era of new fujian construction deployment, efforts to play three big battle, build a well-off society in an all-round way, quanzhou kept practicing people centered development thought.

Brave men cut their wrists, seeking to develop high quality

Quanzhou economy, once to fast, to speed to win. From the founding of the People’s Republic of China to the establishment of production self-help factory, to the beginning of the reform and opening up, the village ignition, everywhere, quanzhou has experienced the extensive development phase of competition speed and scale. Entering a new era, quanzhou changes its development concept, updates its development ideas, and seeks to “take the lead” in high-quality development.

In longmen town, anxi county, quanzhou, the reporter walked into China international information technology (fujian) industrial park, felt the charm of “China cloud valley”, and explored the positive interaction between the transformation and upgrading of quanzhou manufacturing industry and the construction of ecological civilization.

Turn back the clock to 2010. Stone mining and processing is one of the traditional pillar industries in longmen town, but obviously, this extensive management, environmental pollution development mode, more and more does not meet the requirements of scientific development. Determined to “break one’s wrist”, anxi started a thorough renovation of the stone industry, resolutely eliminated backward production capacity and backward technology, and took the lead in the province to realize the comprehensive withdrawal of the stone industry.

“The stone left after the collapse of the field, give us a cage for birds, turn waste into treasure important opportunity. Park management committee director Chen qingfang recalled. In anxi county county, under the overall layout of the town of longmen decisive for industry transformation, taking science and technology industry highlands, the introduction of national wealth data system co., LTD, China telecom and technology such as network high gold content of a batch of leading enterprises, not only by effect is obvious, also set off an engine of the economy as a number of industry chain, supporting anxi “out of thin air” the wisdom of the industry. Within a few short years, the “cloud valley of China” has seen a surge of wind and clouds, with more than 30,000 people gathering around it, and the output value of the digital economy has exceeded 30 billion yuan.

The same butterfly changes in quanzhou all over the staged. In anxi, optronics industrial park, high-end equipment manufacturing industrial park, xiaquan (anxi) economic cooperation zone huli park and siming park and other modern professional parks have been successively built, creating a huge park economy. In nan ‘an, shijing and shuitou waste quarry treatment project has invested 110 million yuan, and sorted out the land of quanzhou core valley of 2400 mu; In shishi, baogai mountain abandoned grottoes incarnation covers an area of more than 600 acres of canyon tourism sites, with the name of “the valley of the sea of flowers” attract tourists like weaving……

This series of butterfly changes, confirmed quanzhou high-quality development of the pace. Wang yongli, mayor of quanzhou city, said that most enterprises in quanzhou started from the “old business”, transformation and upgrading is not to start over, not to start over, but from the product, technology, management can start, and constantly improve the core competitiveness of enterprises; Starting with strengthening, building and reinforcing chains, we will accelerate the formation of three major industrial sectors: traditional, high-tech and heavy.

High-tech industries are gaining momentum, and new driving forces are emerging. In the first half of this year, the added value of quanzhou’s high-tech industry increased to 19.4% from 16.3% in the previous year. In quanzhou economic and technological development zone, liu yihua, director of the general manager office of ruichi intelligence company, demonstrated a technology of 4K short focus 0.19 projection ratio lens. This “intelligent projection TV”, which is about to enter the market, is a cutting-edge technology product independently developed by the young ruichi company. Lian zhifu, deputy director of the management committee of the development zone, introduced that there are more than 11,000 market entities in the zone, including 15 leading enterprises of small giants in science and technology.

(1) Appearance inspection: observe whether the marks on the dial, back cover and crown are consistent, and check the case, surface and hands for serious scratches.

(2) Sensitivity test: In the state where the mainspring is completely relaxed, move up and down three times. If the sensitivity of the second hand movement is deemed acceptable, otherwise it is not sensitive.

(3) Sound check: When winding, the movement must not “click”. If there is sound or slipping, it means that there is a problem with some of the previous parts. In addition, if the interval between the “snoring” sounds heard by the watch is significantly different, it means that the watch has a serious deviation phenomenon. If the sound is fast and chaotic, it indicates that there is a swing phenomenon.

(4) Checking the setting hand: When setting the hand counterclockwise, the second hand can stop or go back, but when the setting hand is stopped, the second hand should start to move again. Otherwise, it indicates that the sub-wheel in the movement is not tight.

(5) Coincidence check: Turn the hour, minute and second hands to the overlapping position, and check whether there is any friction between the second hand and the glass, between the hour hand and the dial and the three hands. Then observe it step by step at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock.

(6) Calendar check: When checking the watch with the day of the week and calendar display function, there should be no skipping characters or skipping characters.

(7) According to national standards, according to timing accuracy, domestic watches are divided into 4 grades, and the daily differences of the first, second, third, and fourth grades are large or less than ± 30 seconds, ± 45 seconds, ± 60 seconds, and ± 90 seconds, respectively.
