Scrap Validation Services
Scrap validation is the independent verification of scrap material before it is shipped, purchased, or processed. It safeguards buyers and sellers from misdeclaration, contamination, and shortages by confirming the quantity, quality, and composition of the consignment.
With global scrap trade volumes growing and prices fluctuating, even minor discrepancies in weight, grade, or material purity can translate into significant financial losses and compliance risks for importers, recyclers, and manufacturers.
We offer comprehensive scrap validation and pre-shipment inspection services to help businesses verify every consignment, mitigate trade risks, and ensure that what is loaded matches what is contracted.

FAQs on Scrap Validation
What is scrap validation?
Scrap validation is an independent inspection process that verifies the quantity, quality, grade, and composition of scrap material before it is shipped or accepted. It includes physical examination, testing, weighing, and documentation to confirm that the consignment matches contract terms.
Why is scrap validation important for importers?
Importers face risks such as short shipments, lower-grade material, hazardous contamination, and radiation exposure. Validation at the origin protects buyers from financial losses, customs penalties, and rejection of cargo, ensuring only verified material enters their facility.
What types of scrap can be validated?
Validation services cover ferrous scrap (HMS, shredded, plate & structural), non-ferrous scrap (copper, aluminium, brass, lead, zinc), e-waste, stainless steel, and specialty alloys, in line with ISRI, EFR, and buyer-defined grades.
Where are inspections typically conducted?
Inspections are conducted at the supplier's yard, weighbridge, port stuffing terminal, or container freight station, depending on the scope. On-site presence allows real-time verification of weighing, sorting, and loading activities.
What documents are provided after inspection?
A detailed inspection report is issued including findings, weight records, photographs, container and seal numbers, test results where applicable, and a compliance summary. These documents support customs clearance, insurance, and dispute resolution.
How long does a typical inspection take?
Duration depends on cargo volume, type of scrap, and yard conditions. A standard 20 to 40 container shipment is typically inspected and loaded over one to three working days, with reports issued shortly after loading is completed.
Are your inspectors independent and qualified?
Yes. Inspections are carried out by trained, independent inspectors with experience in scrap grading, weighing supervision, and safety screening. They follow standard operating procedures aligned with international inspection practices to ensure objective and reliable results.
