Quality Control

Quality Checks Built Around the Approved Product Configuration

Quality control starts with the approved product. The housing, pump system, power platform, sensor functions, outlet, accessories and packaging define the reference for production inspection.

Functional checks follow the selected model. Standard powered, rechargeable sensor and wireless-pump fountains use different components and operating systems.

Approved Reference

The Approved Sample Is the Starting Point

The approved sample and specification provide the reference for appearance, configuration, operation and packing review. Production inspection checks against these requirements.

01

Product Configuration

Housing, material, outlet and selected model.

02

Operating Platform

Standard powered, rechargeable sensor or wireless-pump architecture.

03

Branding & Packaging

Logo, retail box, manual, accessories and carton requirements.

04

Approved Specification

Verified dimensions, components and project-specific requirements.

Quality Review

What We Check During Quality Review

01

Appearance & Finish

02

Assembly & Fit

Review whether components fit correctly and removable parts can be installed, removed and reassembled as intended.

  • Top / tray fit
  • Pump & filter fit
  • Outlet / spout installation
  • Charging-base fit
  • Component placement
  • Disassembly / reassembly
03

Functional Checks

Functional inspection points depend on the selected fountain platform and approved configuration.

  • Pump operation & water flow
  • Operating noise
  • Water-level visibility
  • Charging where applicable
  • Sensor response where applicable
  • Modes & LED reminder where applicable
04

Packing & Order Completeness

Check the product, accessories, manuals, protection and carton information against the order requirements.

Final Inspection Reference

AQL 2.5 / 4.0 for Internal Final Inspection

AQL2.5

Major Defects

AQL4.0

Minor Defects

Our internal final inspection uses AQL 2.5 for major defects and AQL 4.0 for minor defects as the standard acceptance reference for applicable production lots.

The exact sampling quantity and inspection scope depend on the order size, product platform and confirmed inspection requirements.

Platform-Specific Checks

Different Platforms Require Different Functional Checks

The inspection scope follows the selected platform and approved configuration. Not every check applies to every model.

02

Rechargeable Sensor Platforms

Charging, battery operation, sensor response, operating modes and LED reminder where applicable.

03

Stainless Steel Platforms

Surface finish, housing edges, assembly fit and outlet stability. Rechargeable versions also require charging and applicable sensor checks.

Compliance & Technical Documentation

Compliance Documents Available by Product Model

CE/EMC, FCC and RoHS documentation is available for each current Fountelio product model. Because the reports are model-specific, we provide the relevant files against the confirmed product model and target market rather than presenting one certificate set as if it covered the entire range.

CE / EMC

Electromagnetic compatibility documentation for the confirmed product model.

FCC

FCC-related compliance documentation for the confirmed product model.

RoHS

Restricted-substance compliance documentation for the confirmed product model.
