Frequently asked questions
Does Restart perform product inspection?
Restart coordinates inspection requirements, timing and communication. Independent physical inspection is performed by suppliers or qualified third-party providers when requested.
Can quality be guaranteed?
No responsible sourcing process can guarantee every outcome. Clear standards, samples, checks and documented responses reduce avoidable uncertainty.
Who chooses a laboratory?
The buyer’s market and required standard determine the need. Restart can coordinate with a selected qualified provider, but the report issuer is responsible for its testing service.
