What evidence should a German OEM review before supplier approval?
Begin with the component requirements and the customer approval process. Check certification where it is required, then review the drawing, material, inspection and traceability evidence needed for that particular program.
| German OEM approval gate | Submission decision to agree |
|---|---|
| Drawing interpretation | Applicable standard, revision, datum references and unresolved technical questions. |
| Material and traceability | Required specification, document type and linkage to the supplied lot. |
| Initial-part acceptance | Characteristics, report format, exceptions and the customer reviewer. |
| Recurring-order release | Written approval conditions, change notifications and the evidence accompanying each delivery. |
Keep the customer-specific submission list separate from the supplier certificate. Obtain written agreement on each required item; a national market label does not establish a universal FAI or PPAP package.
published TDB certificate documents. German-buyer requirements.
Technical baseline
Identify the applicable drawing conventions, revision, datums and critical features.
Material identity

Record the sample decision, approved exceptions and conditions for recurring orders.
Is one document package required by every German buyer?
No. Requirements vary by component, contract and customer program. Define the exact submission list; do not assume that a country name, FAI label or generic PPAP promise settles the scope.
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.
