RFQ details to send early

Clear drawings and sourcing context reduce quotation back-and-forth before sampling or repeat production.

  • Share whether the project references UKCA, CE, BS, EN, IEC, or buyer-owned requirements so manufacturing review protects the drawing intent without making certification claims.
  • For outdoor enclosures or charger cabinets, define coating color, texture, substrate, gasket areas, drainage, hardware zones, visible faces, and corrosion expectations early.
  • Include destination city or fulfilment route, carton limits, pallet rules, labels, importer notes, inspection checkpoints, and any supplier-transfer history before quotation.
