Sauna Factory Verification Checklist for B2B Buyers

Use this checklist when a sauna buyer needs to verify that the supplier can actually produce, inspect, pack, and hand off the sauna order. It focuses on factory identity, workshop photos, material control, production evidence, QC, packing, loading, and document handoff before supplier approval.

Factory Verification Checklist

Proof area	Ask for	Acceptable evidence	Pause if
Factory identity	Who owns the quote and what factory role is being claimed?	Company profile, public contact path, factory role, buyer owner, and product category fit.	The supplier cannot explain its role or accountable contact.
Workshop photos	Can the supplier show current sauna production environment?	Workshop, workbench, tools, material area, production flow, and finished sauna evidence.	Only stock images or catalog renders are provided.
Material control	How are wood, heater, glass, hardware, and accessories controlled?	Wood material photos, heater/voltage notes, accessory list, glass/hardware scope, and inspection points.	Material claims are vague or not tied to the quoted model.
Production capability	Can the factory make the requested model and quantity?	Similar model proof, sample review, assembly photos, lead-time assumptions, and order-capacity explanation.	The supplier says yes without similar model or process proof.
QC photos	What will be checked before packing and balance payment?	QC checklist, product photos, label review, accessory check, missing-part check, and issue closure record.	No inspection stage is visible before shipment.
Packing and loading	How will sauna parts be protected and shipped?	Crate data, carton marks, labels, packing photos, loading proof, FCL/LCL notes, and spare parts.	Packing proof is missing or not connected to destination requirements.
Document handoff	Which files will the buyer receive before shipment?	Manuals, packing list, invoice data, label scope, warranty terms, installation handoff, and support contact.	Documents are discussed in chat but not attached to the order path.
