Quality and documentation

Tell us which dimensions, conditions and records matter for acceptance. We coordinate these requirements as part of the enquiry and quotation.

Inspection criteria

Identify the drawing revision, critical dimensions and tolerances. Call out functional checks such as a thread gauge or fit check where required, and specify the features or quantities to inspect.

Records to request

Specify the records needed with the sample, first order or each shipment. Examples include:

  • A dimensional report linked to the applicable drawing revision.
  • Material records with the grade and any required batch or heat reference.
  • A finish or treatment record, where applicable and agreed.
  • Part and batch identification on packaging or accompanying documents.

Samples and specification changes

If you require sample approval, define who approves it and which checks are needed. Flag changes to materials, tolerances, finishes or inspection requirements before the next order is released.

What the quotation should confirm

We review document scope and availability for each project. State any required format, language, traceability detail or review deadline in the enquiry.
