Define quality once.
Verify it through production.
A repeatable supply program starts with an agreed specification, relevant inspection methods and clear release criteria. We review the documents and controls required for your component with its producing site.
From the approved drawing to shipment release.
Inspection scope, frequency and records are agreed for the product and order. A test relevant to one component is not automatically required or available for every product family.
Specification review
Confirm drawing revision, material, critical characteristics, acceptance limits, measurement methods and any customer-specific requirements.
Sample approval
Define first-article checks and functional evaluation. Resolve deviations and document approval before moving into repeat production.
Production controls
Agree incoming, in-process and final checks, along with the batch identification and record retention needed for traceability.
Release & changes
Set shipment-release requirements, nonconformance handling, corrective-action responsibilities and approval rules for changes.
Request the evidence your program needs.
Tell us the required approval package when requesting a quotation. Document availability, producing-site scope, test conditions and any additional cost or lead time must be confirmed before order acceptance.
A material declaration does not replace a product test, and a management-system certificate does not certify an individual part. Safety-critical or regulated applications require their own qualification and approval.
| Document or test | Define in the project scope |
|---|---|
| First Article Inspection (FAI) | Drawing revision, sample quantity, ballooned dimensions and acceptance results. |
| Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) | Required submission level, customer forms, producing-site responsibilities and approval timing. |
| Material records | Material grade, batch identity, composition or property data, and traceability requirements. |
| Magnetic verification | Relevant properties, measurement positions, temperature and agreed test method. |
| Dimensional inspection | Datums, critical features, method, sampling and reporting format. |
| Environmental or coating tests | Exposure conditions, duration, specimen preparation and pass/fail criteria. |
| Substance declarations | Applicable RoHS/REACH requirements, material scope and supporting documentation. |
Check the holder, site, scope and validity.
The records currently available on this website are historical. Their stated validity periods have ended; they are not evidence of current certification.
Current documents are part of supplier qualification.
Before approval, request the current certificate for the actual producing site and verify its holder, certified activities and expiry date. Certificates held by a strategic manufacturing base do not automatically cover Ningbo Empire or another site.
