Material and finish
Written into the quotation
Material grade, coating type and coating thickness are stated on the quotation, not left to a catalogue page. If your project standard fixes them, we quote to that standard and say so.
Quality
What we control, and what we will not claim
A component is judged twice: at goods receipt and, years later, on the line.
Dimensional control
First-off, then through the run
The tooling is set against the drawing and the first part is measured before the run continues. Samples can be sent for your own inspection before batch production.
Coating and appearance
Checked before the cartons close
Galvanised and plated surfaces are checked for coverage and finish before packing. Threads are protected for shipment; parts are packed to survive sea freight, not just the truck.
Documents
Whatever the order calls for
Packing list, invoice and certificate of origin as standard. Mill certificates, dimensional reports and inspection records when the purchase order lists them.
The part we leave out
No certification badges on this site
Plenty of component websites show ISO, CRCC or EN marks whether or not they hold them.
Standards we are asked to work to most often: TB/T series, EN 50119, and project specifications.
Documents
What can travel with a shipment
Ask for the ones your contract lists.
Commercial
Packing list, invoice, certificate of origin, bill of lading as arranged with your forwarder.
Material
Mill certificates where the mill issues them.
Inspection
Dimensional and coating records when the purchase order names them.
Ask the awkward question first.
Certificates, tolerances, packing, lead time.
