Drawing & Specification Review
Review dimensions, tolerances, material, surface finish, interfaces, and agreed functional requirements before production.
Lighting Glass Quality Control
Quality control starts before production. Drawings, approved samples, application requirements, and agreed acceptance criteria are translated into inspection points from incoming material through production, final inspection, and packaging.
Quality Starts Before Production
Custom glass quality requirements vary by product and application. Before tooling or production, align the characteristics that affect fit, appearance, optical effect, assembly, and repeatability.
Critical-to-Quality Definition
Define the characteristics that have the greatest impact on assembly, appearance, optical effect, fit, and end use.
Measurable Acceptance Criteria
Where practical, convert visual or functional requirements into measurable limits such as dimensions, weight, transmittance, haze, roughness, color, or agreed test conditions.
Approved & Limit Samples
When appearance cannot be fully defined by numbers, approved samples and agreed limit samples can help align inspection decisions.
Inspection Plan
Define inspection stage, method, frequency, sample size, equipment, records, and responsibilities according to project requirements.
Full-Process Quality Control
Inspection points are planned around the manufacturing route, agreed specifications, and key risks so issues can be identified before the next production stage.
Incoming Material Control
Materials are checked against approved project requirements before production.
First-Article Verification
Critical dimensions, appearance, fit, and agreed project requirements are reviewed before the production run proceeds.
In-Process Inspection
Key process parameters and agreed quality characteristics are checked during forming and secondary processing.
Final Inspection
Finished products are checked against the approved drawing, specification, and approved reference sample before shipment.
Project Inspection Records
Inspection photos, reports, and production records can be prepared according to agreed project requirements.
Packaging & Outgoing Control
Packaging and outgoing checks are completed against the agreed project and shipment requirements.

Different Glass Processes Require Different Quality Priorities
Inspection priorities vary by glass category, forming route, secondary operations, and end application. Quality checks should follow the actual product and process requirements.
Fused & Blown Glass
For blown and custom-formed lighting glass, the quality plan should balance shape, appearance, fit, wall distribution, forming consistency, and agreed functional requirements.
- Overall Geometry & Critical Installation Dimensions
- Wall Distribution, Weight & Forming Consistency
- Mold / Tooling Features, Seams, Texture & Edge Condition
- Bubbles, Inclusions, Deformation & Agreed Visual Limits
- Residual Stress, Fit & Project-Specific Functional Checks

Fused glass
For lamp covers, diffusers, lenses, industrial lighting glass, and complex molded components, the quality plan must balance appearance with repeatable assembly and performance.
- Overall geometry and critical installation dimensions
- Wall distribution, product weight, and forming consistency
- Mold-related features, seams, texture, and edge condition
- Bubbles, stones, inclusions, deformation, and other agreed visual limits
- Residual stress, impact, thermal performance, and fit when required
