Definition
品质 refers to either a person's moral character or the quality of a product, service, or life – it covers both people and things. For product quality, 质量 (zhìliàng) is more common and also means 'mass'; 品质 sounds more qualitative. For personal character, 人品 (rénpǐn) is a more colloquial synonym for morality, while 素质 (sùzhì) includes education and competence.
