Indoor Playground Factory Acceptance Checklist
Factory acceptance is a contract-specific check before shipment, not a replacement for installation inspection or a product certificate. Buyers should agree what can be verified in the factory, what needs assembled testing and what remains for the destination. This guide focuses on release evidence rather than daily operational inspections.

What belongs in a factory acceptance checklist?
Link each check to the approved drawings, bill of materials or written specification. Record the result, item identifier, evidence reference and unresolved action. Reconcile the inspected items with the packing list, and release only under the agreed acceptance procedure. Remote images cannot establish everything about the installed facility.
Set the Acceptance Gates
- 01
Freeze the reference set
Identify the approved drawing and bill-of-materials revisions, colours, intended-use documents and acceptance criteria. Resolve conflicting versions before checks begin.
- 02
Define what can be verified
List factory checks, any representative assembly and required reports. Label checks not performed or not applicable honestly; do not tick installation-dependent items as complete.
- 03
Record discrepancies
Give each issue an ID, reference, description, responsible party and closure evidence. Agree which open issues block release instead of relying on verbal assurances.
- 04
Reconcile packing and release
Match item IDs to crate numbers and quantities. Keep signed release and exception records separate from proof of freight booking or a customs document.
Build the Evidence Pack
Item-linked photos
Record item IDs, relevant views and the inspection date. Images should show the check; a general factory panorama is not evidence for every component.
Report register
Tie requested reports to exact models, materials and scope. Do not treat a factory quality certificate as certification of the full playground.
Packing reconciliation
Map inspected components to crate IDs, quantities and accessories. Note missing or deferred items explicitly before shipment approval.

Build the Evidence Pack — Decision Matrix
| Gate | Reference | Evidence | Release decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration | Approved drawing/BOM revision | Item and dimension records | Resolve unapproved changes |
| Specified checks | Agreed acceptance criteria | Reports and check-specific evidence | Record limits and omissions |
| Discrepancies | Issue register | Closure or accepted exception | Apply agreed blocking criteria |
| Packing | Item-to-crate list | Counts and crate identifiers | Record shortages before release |
Planning guidance only. Use project-specific drawings, item specifications and written approvals; this guide is not a product certificate or a contract.

Sources & Scope
Agree project-specific acceptance criteria and record the scope and limits of each check. Quality-management references are not individual product certificates.
