Inner protection, care card, retail box, carton mark, barcode label, and export carton strength.
Buyer claim
Care instruction accuracy, surface treatment wording, and claim boundaries before shipment.
Inspection Flow
Keep the approved sample visible through the whole order
Sample benchmark
Use approved sample and care note as the reference before production starts.
In-process checks
Review surface, handle fixing, bottom shape, and packaging materials during production.
Final inspection
Confirm packed goods against order spec, carton mark, quantity, and visible defects.
Buyer Questions
Common questions about nitrided wok QC
What is a nitrided wok?
A nitrided wok is usually made from carbon steel or iron and treated through a nitriding surface process. For buyers, the key point is that nitriding is a surface treatment route, not a PTFE or ceramic nonstick coating.
Is carbon steel the base material?
Yes. For many OEM nitrided wok projects, carbon steel is the base material. Nitriding is applied as a surface treatment that affects surface appearance, early rust-resistance expectations, care instructions, inspection points, and packaging requirements.
Does a nitrided wok still need care?
Yes. Nitriding can support surface hardness and better early rust-resistance expectations, but buyers should still prepare clear washing, drying, oiling, and storage instructions for end users.
