What is Quality Control?

Quality control refers to a set of procedures through which businesses review their manufactured products to ensure they meet standard quality requirements. There are certain standards or qualities that products must meet. Failure of the products to meet the stipulated qualities means they must be junked, reworked, or improved upon. 

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifies quality standards that products must fulfill. 

 Quality control must be carried out in every process of a business operation to ensure that products meet the required specifications. Testing the units of a product to determine whether they are within the scope of quality standards is essential. 

The type of product a company manufactures determines the quality control measures that will be used. Inspectors, generally employees of regulatory bodies, ensure that products meet quality control criteria.
