Confidence comes from evidence that matches your product. Start with the required processes and acceptance criteria, then verify the manufacturing site, capability limits and records needed to support them.
Four questions to resolve before approval
Can the construction be supported?
Review materials, geometry, assembly methods, finishes and the limits relevant to your design.
What will be checked?
Connect inspection and testing to defined defects, functions, measurements and pass criteria.
How will units be traced?
Agree on lot or unit identification and the material, process and test records to retain.
Who approves a change?
Define authority for substitutions, deviations, rework and manufacturing-site changes.
Ask for evidence that answers a specific question
| Decision | Evidence to request | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Required certification | Current certificate and applicable scope | Named entity, site, issuing body, validity and relevance to the work |
| Process suitability | Construction review and process limitations | That the proposed product falls within the confirmed limits |
| Inspection and test | Coverage plan, limits and representative records | What the checks detect and what they do not establish |
| Traceability | Example record structure and identification method | How delivered units connect to relevant build information |
| Nonconformance handling | Disposition and corrective-action process | Who makes decisions and which changes need your approval |
Keep inspection, testing and qualification distinct
An inspection can identify particular assembly conditions; a functional test can evaluate specified product behaviors. Neither automatically establishes every reliability, environmental or regulatory requirement. Identify which evidence applies to the bare board, assembly and finished product.
For a regulated or contract-controlled product, state the applicable documents and revisions in the RFQ. Verify qualifications against the actual manufacturing entity and site. A generic industry reference is not a claim that this site’s operator holds that qualification.

Turn requirements into a useful inquiry
State the required construction, inspection or functional-test scope, acceptance criteria and records. Identify qualifications that are mandatory for supplier approval. That makes the suitability review specific and prevents an assumed capability from becoming an unrecorded dependency.
