Quality Control

At NAVIFORCE, we strictly adhere to the ISO 9001 Quality Management System to ensure that each product meets international high standards. Our products are CE and RoHS certified, complying with global safety and environmental requirements. To ensure exceptional quality, we have established a comprehensive quality control system, covering IQC (Incoming Quality Control), IPQC (In-Process Quality Control), FQC (Final Quality Control), and QA (Quality Assurance). From the arrival of raw materials to the shipment of finished products, every stage is strictly controlled to ensure consistent quality. Our QC team is highly experienced and equipped with advanced testing equipment. They strictly follow quality management processes, and all products undergo thorough inspection before shipment to ensure stability and reliability, providing our customers with worry-free purchasing and peace of mind in use.

Incoming Material Inspection: IQC & FAI

Our production process is built on top-tier design and extensive experience. With years of expertise in watch manufacturing, we have established long-term partnerships with multiple high-quality raw material suppliers that meet EU standards.
Upon arrival, our IQC (Incoming Quality Control) department meticulously inspects each component and material to enforce strict quality control while implementing necessary safety storage measures. At the same time, we conduct FAI (First Article Inspection) to verify that the initial batch of materials meets production requirements, ensuring consistency in mass production.
Furthermore, we adopt an advanced 5S management system, covering procurement, receiving, storage, pending release, testing, and final approval or rejection, achieving comprehensive and efficient real-time inventory management.

  • Functionality Testing

    Functionality Testing

    For every watch component with specific functions, functional tests are conducted to ensure their proper operation.

  • Material Quality Testing

    Material Quality Testing

    Verify if the materials used in watch components meet specification requirements, filtering out substandard or non-compliant materials. For instance, leather straps must undergo a 1-minute high-intensity torsion test.

  • Appearance Quality Inspection

    Appearance Quality Inspection

    Inspect the appearance of components, including case, dial, hands, pins, and bracelet, for smoothness, flatness, neatness, color difference, plating thickness, etc., to ensure there are no obvious defects or damages.

  • Dimensional Tolerance Check

    Dimensional Tolerance Check

    Validate if the dimensions of watch components align with specification requirements and fall within the dimensional tolerance range, ensuring suitability for watch assembly.

  • Assemblability Testing

    Assemblability Testing

    Assembled watch parts require a recheck of the assembly performance of their components to ensure correct connection, assembly, and operation.

Watch Production QC: PI, IPQC & FQC

Product quality is not only ensured at the source of production but also throughout the entire manufacturing process. After the inspection of the watch components and assembly is completed, each semi-finished watch undergoes three quality checks: QC, PQC (Production Process Quality Control), and FQC (Final Quality Control).
During the Production Inspection (PI) stage, we conduct strict checks on each process to ensure that every step in production meets the required standards. Next, IPQC (In-Process Quality Control) monitors the quality continuously during the production process, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of every part and procedure. Finally, in the FQC stage, each finished watch undergoes a final quality inspection to ensure it meets the high-quality standards before being delivered to the customer.

NAVIFORCE places great importance on every step of the production process to ensure that products meet high-quality standards and are delivered on time.

  • Waterproof Testing

    Waterproof Testing

    The watch is pressurized using a vacuum pressurizer, then placed in a vacuum sealing tester. The watch is observed to ensure it can operate normally for a certain period without water ingress.

  • Functional Testing

    Functional Testing

    The functionality of the assembled watch body is checked to ensure that all functions such as luminescence, time display, date display, and chronograph are working correctly.

  • Assembly Accuracy

    Assembly Accuracy

    The assembly of each component is checked for accuracy and correctness, ensuring that parts are correctly connected and installed. This includes checking if the colors and types of the watch hands match appropriately.

  • Drop Testing

    Drop Testing

    A certain proportion of each batch of watches undergoes drop testing, typically performed multiple times, to ensure the watch operates normally after testing, without any functional damage or external damage.

  • Appearance inspection

    Appearance inspection

    The appearance of the assembled watch, including the dial, case, crystal, etc., is inspected to ensure there are no scratches, defects, or oxidation of the plating.

  • Time Accuracy Testing

    Time Accuracy Testing

    For quartz and electronic watches, the battery's timekeeping is tested to ensure that the watch can operate reliably under normal usage conditions.

  • Adjustment and Calibration

    Adjustment and Calibration

    Mechanical watches require adjustment and calibration to ensure accurate timekeeping.

  • Reliability Testing

    Reliability Testing

    Some key watch models, such as solar-powered watches and mechanical watches, undergo reliability testing to simulate long-term wear and use, evaluating their performance and lifespan.

  • Quality Records and Tracking

    Quality Records and Tracking

    Relevant quality information is recorded in each production batch for tracking the production process and quality status.

Final Product Packaging & Inspection: Packing, FQC

After passing quality inspection, the qualified watches are sent to the packaging department, where they are placed in PP bags along with hang tags, warranty cards, and instruction manuals. Depending on the requirement, we offer both bulk packaging and individual box packaging , with a variety of box materials and styles available for branded presentation.

As NAVIFORCE products are sold in over 100 countries and regions worldwide, we also provide customized and non-standard packaging solutions to meet diverse market and branding needs.

After packaging is completed, all products undergo a final quality check (FQC) to ensure that each item is intact, damage-free, and properly packed before shipment.

For the more, to ensure product quality, we also achieve it through the responsibility of the work process, continuously enhancing the skills and work commitment of personnel. This encompasses personnel responsibility, management responsibility, environmental control, all of which contribute to safeguarding product quality.
