Request a Sample Inspection or Audit Report
A sample inspection report helps clients understand how an inspection company documents findings before trusting it with a shipment, supplier audit, or technical verification assignment. The report format shows how observations are recorded, how defects are classified, how photos are presented, and how conclusions are structured.
Zurich Inspection can provide anonymized sample inspection and audit reports upon request. Samples are shared based on the service type and product category, so the example is relevant to the client’s project instead of being a generic downloadable template. A garment pre-shipment inspection report, supplier verification audit report, container loading inspection report, and steel structure inspection report do not follow the same structure or evidence requirements.
To request a sample report, please complete the form below and indicate the service type most relevant to your project.

- Measurement results, functional checks, or technical observations

Sample Inspection Report FAQs
What does an inspection company do?
Yes. The request form should include the relevant product category, service type, and country or region. Zurich will share the closest available anonymized sample report when available.
Can a sample report be used as an inspection checklist?
No. A sample report should not be used as a final checklist for another project. Each inspection or audit scope should be defined according to the product, specifications, standards, acceptance criteria, and client requirements.
Why does report quality matter when choosing an inspection company?
Report quality matters because the report is often the document used to decide whether to release goods, approve a supplier, request corrective action, hold shipment, escalate a claim, or approve a project milestone. A weak report may create uncertainty instead of reducing risk.
