Material & identity
Specify the material designation and applicable standard. State whether heat, batch or lot identification is required and how it should appear on records.
Quality / specification guide
Make the critical
details visible.
Quality starts with a shared definition of an acceptable part. Use this guide to make inspection and documentation requirements clear.
Beyond a nominal dimension
A common reference.
A clearer decision.
A dimension has meaning alongside its tolerance, datum and method of measurement. Identify the features that affect fit, function and interchangeability.
This guide describes specification considerations. It does not represent a certification, test result or inspection commitment.
REFERENCE / GO & NO-GO
Three useful conversations
Define it before
you measure it.
Dimensions & function
Identify critical features, tolerances and mating interfaces. Agree on the measurement method, sampling requirements and acceptance criteria.
Finish & presentation
Describe coating, surface condition and any appearance limits. Include protection, labeling and packing requirements where they affect acceptance.
Documentation checklist
The record is part
of the requirement.
Specify required documents at the inquiry stage. Their availability and scope should be confirmed before any order.
Material evidence
Required material certificate type, issuing source and traceability scope.
Dimensional report
Features to record, reporting format and measurement references.
Calibration information
Applicable instrument or gauge records and any accreditation requirements.
Packing & identification
Part references, revision, quantity and required lot or batch labels.
A good part starts with
a clear specification.
Bring the drawing, the application and the details that matter.
