Sheaffer’s production process is designed to meet ISO 8442-1 and ISO 8442-5 Standard; also we have laboratory tests which are complied with the CATRA Lab test standard to scale our knife products. However, we randomly send out our products to CATRA in UK for official test reports which give us a more justified view of the products. We have totally more than 40 inspectors spread between the eight workshops for checking products in progress. However, in the packaging workshop of our production, more inspectors are in place for checking knives one by one on the production floor. The quality control is not only apply to our lab but also apply the hundred percent of inspection on line by the trined quality persons as well as the on line workers with the neccessary tools.
