Quality control

Quality is not a final step —
it is part of every step

Quality control is one of the most important strengths of SS INDUSTRIES. We follow a structured quality management process to ensure that every product meets the required technical and commercial standards before it reaches the customer.

5+ QC checkpoints per batch
ISO 9001:2015 certified
SGS Third-party inspected
99% On-spec delivery rate

Our quality process
Structured quality at every stage

We understand that ceramic manufacturers and project buyers depend on consistency. Even small variation in raw materials or finished products can affect performance, production efficiency, and end results.

01

Sourcing & incoming inspection

Our quality control process begins at the sourcing stage. All incoming raw minerals are checked for suitability and consistency before being accepted into our processing chain. Supplier qualifications are maintained and regularly reviewed to ensure supply consistency.

Supplier qualification Incoming material check Visual & lab inspection
02

In-process monitoring

During processing, materials are monitored for composition, fineness, whiteness, mesh size, moisture content, and other relevant specifications based on application. Continuous monitoring ensures deviations are caught early and corrected without affecting output quality.

03

Final product inspection

Final products are inspected again before packaging and dispatch. This includes visual checks, dimensional verification for tiles, chemical analysis for raw materials, and sampling from each production lot to maintain traceability.

Chemical analysis Dimensional verification Visual inspection Batch sampling
04

Packaging & labelling control

Each bag, box, or container is checked for correct weight, proper sealing, and accurate labelling before leaving our facility. Packing integrity directly affects how customers receive and use the product.

Weight verification Sealing integrity Accurate labelling Container loading check
05

Documentation & traceability

Every batch is fully documented with test reports, certificates of analysis, and relevant export documentation. Customers receive complete traceability records alongside their shipment, enabling confidence in product history and compliance.

What we test
Testing parameters by product

Chemical composition

SiO₂, Al₂O₃, K₂O, Na₂O, Fe₂O₃, TiO₂ — XRF analysis for every batch

Whiteness / brightness

GE whiteness measured per batch using calibrated reflectance meters

Particle size / mesh

Sieve analysis for mesh verification — 200, 300, 400 mesh checked per order spec

Moisture content

Moisture measured before packing to meet dry material specifications

Loss on ignition

LOI tested to confirm material behaviour in kiln firing conditions

Plasticity (for clays)

Plasticity index tested for ball clay and kaolin to ensure suitability for body formulation

Tile dimensions

Calibration, flatness, and warpage checked per IS / ISO tile standards

Surface quality

Visual inspection for cracks, spots, pinholes, and glaze defects on finished tiles
