The last step, before the pallets can be loaded for transport, is inspection and approval for export by the PPECB. But end-point inspections are only part of the quality management system in a packhouse. The essential components of the system also include accreditation, fruit intake assessments, and internal quality assurance systems. The final product inspections not only verify the suitability of the product for export, but also provide information about how well the quality
management systems are performing. If the packhouse product consistently meets the
quality requirements, the product quality management systems are functioning well.
