What is supplier verification in China?
Supplier verification is the process of confirming that a Chinese supplier is legally registered, operational, capable, properly certified where relevant, and suitable for the buyer's order. LIFA uses a six-point verification workflow to reduce the risk of fraud, capacity gaps, and quality failures.
Verification Checklist
Our 6-Point Supplier Verification System
Before a purchase order is placed, supplier claims should be checked and documented.
| Checkpoint | Method | What We Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Business License | Government registry cross-check | Legal registration, active status, business scope, legal representative, and registration consistency. |
| On-Site Factory Audit | Physical visit with photo/video documentation | Factory exists, production lines operate, equipment matches claims, and the site is suitable for the order. |
| Production Capacity | Equipment and workforce review | Factory can realistically handle the requested volume and timeline. |
| Quality Certifications | Verification with issuing bodies where possible | ISO, BSCI, Sedex, CE, FDA, FCC, RoHS, or other claims are relevant and current where applicable. |
| Reference Check | Past or current client contact where available | Delivery reliability, communication, quality consistency, and dispute behavior. |
| Financial Health | Credit, legal, and payment-history review where available | No obvious red flags that could interrupt production or delivery. |
