What Every IGE Report Contains

All IGE inspection and audit reports follow a consistent professional structure. Every section is mandatory and cannot be omitted.

01

Executive Summary

One-page overview: who, what, where, when, overall score, and final verdict. Designed for rapid review by senior decision-makers.

02

Scope & Methodology

Defines what was assessed, what was not in scope, the standards applied, and the sampling methodology used.

03

Detailed Findings

Section-by-section findings with evidence, observations, and individual scores. Each finding is classified: Conforming, Minor NC, Major NC, or Critical NC.

04

Photographic Evidence

All photographs are timestamped and GPS-tagged where possible. Referenced directly to corresponding findings in the report text.

05

Non-Conformity Register

Complete list of all non-conformities found, classified by severity (Critical / Major / Minor), with required corrective actions and timelines.

06

Risk Assessment

Risk matrix evaluating the likelihood and potential impact of identified issues on product safety, compliance, and delivery reliability.

07

Recommendations

IGE's specific, actionable recommendations to the buyer โ€” including whether to proceed, hold, or reject, and what conditions should be imposed.

08

Final Decision

A clear, unambiguous final verdict: APPROVED / CONDITIONAL / REJECTED โ€” signed and dated by the responsible IGE inspector.

AQL Sampling Methodology

IGE applies the internationally recognised ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) sampling system for product inspections. This ensures statistically valid inspection results from practical sample sizes.

The standard inspection level is General Inspection Level II with an AQL of 2.5 for major defects and 4.0 for minor defects. Critical defect acceptance number is always zero.

Defect Classification

Critical: Food safety risk, injury risk, regulatory non-compliance. Zero tolerance.
Major: Likely to result in product rejection by buyer or consumer. AQL 2.5.
Minor: Does not substantially reduce usability. AQL 4.0. Buyer discretion applies.
