01 / Part identification
Cross-check the OE reference against vehicle application, dimensions, mounting position and connector details. Uncertain fitment requires further confirmation.
Quality control starts with knowing which part is needed and how it will be accepted. Our approach is to clarify the specification, evidence and inspection scope before an order is placed.
Cross-check the OE reference against vehicle application, dimensions, mounting position and connector details. Uncertain fitment requires further confirmation.
Agree the reference sample or technical specification. Define the measurements, material information or functional checks needed for approval.
Specify inspection criteria, sampling scope, packaging checks and who carries out the inspection. Independent inspection can be discussed where required.
Agree which documents are required and available for the specific product: specifications, batch references, inspection records or applicable test reports. Check document scope and validity rather than assuming a report covers every product.
A filter, a brake component and an electrical sensor need different acceptance criteria. The destination market and intended application also matter.
Tell us which approvals, test standards or technical documents your purchasing process requires. Availability must be checked with the relevant supplier before a commitment is made.
Inspection only works when the acceptance criteria and next steps are understood. Agree who reviews discrepancies, what evidence is needed, and whether rework, replacement or another resolution is required before release.
Warranty terms and claims handling are confirmed in the quotation or contract for the specific order.
Include the inspection, documentation and approval requirements with your RFQ.
