Product audits provide important information on the quality of a company’s own products from the customer’s point of view by inspecting them before they leave the company.

In addition to pure product characteristics, other customer-specific requirements, e.g. for packaging and labeling, are also considered. The product audit can thus be used to evaluate the quality capability of one’s own manufacturing process.
