VIS Global performed a pre-shipment homeware quality control inspection and discovered that 8.4% of units had inadequate PTFE coating thickness below buyer specification of 25 microns. Additionally, handle torque tests on 12% of units failed at 40 N\u00b7m (spec required 50 N\u00b7m).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The factory corrected the coating line and replaced faulty handles. Re-inspection confirmed full compliance. The brand avoided returning 1,680 pans from UK retailers\u2014a cost saving estimated at GBP 47,000 net of inspection fees.
