ESG Report 2018

QUALITY CONTROL The quality management system established by the Group contains a series of comprehensive procedures, such as the warehousing, storage and distribution procedures of raw materials, auxiliary materials and finished products, so as to implement strict quality control. When raw and auxiliary materials are accepted, the involved personnel must confirm that the supplier is a qualified supplier, and shall check the comp l e t eness o f t he package , ba t ch numbe r, specification, storage condition and production date of the batch of raw and auxiliary materials. In order to ensure the health and safety of raw materials, we would sign quality assurance agreements with suppliers, and require the suppliers to provide the related safety evaluation reports. The material storage is also an important step of production process, so the Group has formulated related regulations on warehouse storage, temperature and humi d i t y con t r o l and se t p r ope r s t o r age environments for different materials to ensure the materials are properly stored. In the aspect of transportation, we have signed quality a s s u r assurance agreement with the commissioned logistil logistic company to guarantee the quality of prodpr products during delivery. Besides, we have also formed the related procedures for transferring products, which stipulated that only the raw materials, unfinished products and finished products that have passed quality test could be passed to the next procedure, so as to prevent any raw materials, unfinished products and finished products that are nonconforming to standards and specifications being used for production or sales. For raw materials and finished products that fail to meet the standards and specifications, we will implement identification, investigation, return or collective destruction based on the related management procedures. In order to further improve quality management, the Group would conduct annual review of product quality every year, and carry out evaluation and propose improvement methods for all the quality indicators, deviations in production process and changes of production equipments . T his h elps optimize the quality management system of the Group continually. 23 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2018 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited
