Questions to settle before you place an order
Ask which items can be supported for your product, what they cost and what evidence you will receive. Keep the answers with the approved specification and purchase order.
- Which product specification or approved sample controls the order?
- What measurement tolerances and workmanship criteria should be followed?
- What inspection method, sample size and acceptance criteria apply?
- Are laboratory tests, certificates or market-specific documents required? Who will arrange them?
- Which records or inspection reports will be supplied, and at what stage?
Need a specific test or certificate?
Send the destination market and required standard or document. Confirm applicability, scope, issuing party, validity and cost before relying on it for a purchase decision.
