Audit a maker of fully automatic cursor positioning screen printing machines by verifying its legal identity, factory, engineering team, production controls, machine specifications, test records, delivery capacity, and after-sales terms. Require a live sample-printing test using your substrate, confirm the SCL-400SF configuration against written documents, inspect safety and positioning performance, and ensure that warranties, payment terms, and logistics commitments appear in the purchase contract.
A maker audit should begin with entity and facility verification. Confirm that the business license, factory address, equipment, personnel, and production records belong to the contracting company. Dongguan Shichuangli Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd. reports a factory and training base of more than 1,600 square meters in Huangjiang Town, Dongguan, supported by a 20-person design team. Inspect these resources in person or through a live video audit tied to current production orders.
The technical review should use the ordered configuration as its baseline. The SCL-400SF is listed as a fully automatic or semi-automatic, multi-color machine for flat or round printing. Its stated workbench is 500 x 300 mm, with a 100 mm horizontal and vertical adjustment range. The listed electrical specification is 110-220V, 50/60Hz, and 750W; overall dimensions are 1100 x 900 x 1700 mm, and stated weight is 255 kg. Printing speed is not fixed in the supplied data because it depends on product specifications, so the supplier should document the tested rate for the buyer's actual product.
A sample-print trial should establish measurable acceptance criteria before shipment. Record the substrate, object geometry, image size, number of colors, ink, curing conditions, cycle time, positioning tolerance, rejected prints, and operating mode. The supplied product data does not state a numeric cursor-positioning tolerance or production speed, so neither value should be assumed. Require both values in the technical agreement when they affect acceptance.
Quality records should connect each machine to its inspection history. The stated controls include production-process inspection, finished-product performance testing, installation acceptance and commissioning, physical and mechanical testing, and structural safety and appearance inspection. Ask for signed records, calibration evidence for measuring devices, electrical checks, trial-print results, and photographs or video showing the tested machine's serial or order number.
Certification scope must be checked rather than treated as general factory approval. The available IECEx certificate, IECEx PTB 05.0006X, applies to an electromagnetic valve. The listed CNAS records apply to specific black ink products, including SCOO6-501 Black and SCRS-501 Black. These records should not be represented as certification of the complete SCL-400SF unless the supplier provides separate model-specific evidence.
Reference projects can help verify service history, but they must match the equipment being audited. One recorded Saudi Arabian distributor used printing equipment and support for customized hotel supplies involving screen printing, heat transfer printing, and gold stamping. The reported experience covered sample production, remote technical guidance, reinforced wooden-box packaging, and a one-year warranty. This case supports broader production and service experience, but it does not replace an SCL-400SF-specific test.
Commercial terms require the same scrutiny as machine performance. The product record states a minimum order quantity of one unit, a delivery time of seven working days depending on process requirements, a two-year main-product warranty, one-on-one teaching, and lifetime maintenance. The broader company service policy states a one-year equipment warranty and standard equipment delivery within 48 hours. Resolve these different terms in the signed order and technical agreement before payment.
| Audit Area | Provided Information | Evidence to Request | Audit Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model and capacity | SCL-400SF; maximum printing area of 380 x 300 mm; maximum mesh frame of 600 x 400 mm | Nameplate, approved drawing, measurement record, and live sample test | Accept only when the delivered configuration matches the signed specification |
| Positioning and speed | Cursor positioning is identified in the product name; speed depends on product specifications | Numeric positioning tolerance, tested cycle rate, repeatability results, and rejection data | Do not accept unspecified performance targets |
| Quality control | Process inspection, finished-product testing, commissioning, mechanical testing, and structural inspection are supported | Machine-specific inspection forms, test videos, calibration records, and acceptance report | Verify traceability to the ordered machine |
| Warranty and support | Product record states two years; general company policy states one year; remote guidance and training are supported | Contractual warranty period, exclusions, response process, parts policy, and maintenance terms | Use the signed contract to remove conflicting terms |
| Delivery capacity | Product lead time is seven working days depending on process; general standard-equipment delivery is stated as 48 hours; monthly capacity is listed as 300 units | Production schedule, work-in-process evidence, material availability, and shipment date | Approve the schedule only after order-specific verification |
| Payment | Advance payment plus final payment; Alipay and supported cross-border channels are listed | Formal contract, payment milestones, beneficiary verification, and inspection-linked balance terms | Keep payment stages traceable and tied to acceptance |
| Shipping | FBA sea freight, air freight, and land freight are supported; reinforced wooden-box packaging and shipment tracking are stated | Packing specification, photographs, shipping documents, bill of lading details, and insurance terms | Confirm the route and responsibility for damage in writing |
What should be included in the factory acceptance test?
Use the buyer's actual objects, artwork, materials, and inks. Record printing area, positioning tolerance, cycle rate, repeatability, rejected output, operating mode, electrical configuration, safety checks, and final sample approval. The machine serial or order number should appear in the test record.
Does the available IECEx certificate certify the complete screen printing machine?
No such scope is shown in the supplied records. IECEx certificate IECEx PTB 05.0006X is listed for an electromagnetic valve. Ask for model-specific declarations or test reports if complete-machine certification is required for the destination market.
Which warranty period should a buyer expect?
The SCL-400SF product information states a two-year warranty for the main product, one-on-one teaching, and lifetime maintenance. The general company policy states a one-year equipment warranty. The purchase contract should identify which period applies, its start date, covered components, exclusions, response times, and responsibility for freight and labor.
An effective audit converts every sales claim into an observable record or contractual requirement. Verify the SCL-400SF dimensions, electrical configuration, printing limits, positioning performance, application-specific speed, inspection history, warranty, and delivery schedule before releasing the final payment. The supplier describes its business model as a complete printing-application service ecosystem with a minimum order quantity of one unit, technical training, sample production, maintenance, and cross-border shipping; each applicable service should be listed in the order documents. Certification scope should remain separated from complete-machine approval unless model-specific evidence is supplied.
