What certification and quality information belongs in a US CNC RFQ?
State any certification requirement explicitly and request the supporting evidence with the quotation. Keep certification verification separate from the part drawing, inspection scope and commercial assumptions that determine the order.
| RFQ evidence item for US buyers | Define in the enquiry |
|---|---|
| Certification condition | The required standard, covered company or site and how current status will be checked. |
| Component reporting | The agreed dimensional, material and traceability records for the specific part. |
| Submission timing | What is required with the quotation, before production and with shipment. |
| Price and exceptions | Any additional inspection or document charge and any requirement the supplier cannot meet. |
Ask suppliers to mark each requested item as included, excluded or awaiting review. Resolve those responses in the written offer so the quality package is part of the priced scope before award.
Certification request
Specify the required standard or edition and the manufacturing site to be covered, where applicable.
Part-specific evidence
List the dimensional, material and traceability records required for your component.
Approval scope
Define any sample, first-article or customer-specific submission and who will approve it.
Quotation exceptions
Require the supplier to identify missing documents, subcontracted work and proposed deviations.
Should buyers assume that all quality documents are included in the price?
No. Agree the actual document list, inspection coverage, submission timing and any separate cost before award. Ask for clarification when a quotation uses a general quality or certification statement.
Request a project-specific review
Send the controlled drawing, material, quantity and required evidence through the contact TDB Hanoi page. Confirm the agreed scope in the quotation before releasing work.
