AsiaInspection guarantees to have an auditor ready to be at the factory for an audit within 48 hours.

This timeframe does not, however, guarantee factory preparedness or cooperation with AsiaInspection. Nor does it guarantee against limiting factors out of the control of AsiaInspection, such as transportation delays, or any event considered an Act of God.
80% of all audit reports are delivered the same day. Reports being delivered the same day are contingent upon full factory cooperation.
