Quality requirements
Agree what passes before production.
Set the acceptance criteria for your part and the records needed for approval. No single pressure, tolerance or sampling plan applies to every project.
Acceptance plan
- Drawing and revision
- Identify the approved drawing, sample reference and change history. Record which revision applies to the order.
- Dimensions and interfaces
- Name each critical dimension, its tolerance, the measurement method and the required inspection record.
- Leak or pressure test
- Agree the medium, pressure, duration, sampling plan and pass criteria for this part. A photograph of a test station does not establish a test result.
- Weld and appearance
- Define the areas to inspect and acceptable appearance before sample approval. Photographs should identify the inspected part.
- Labels and packaging
- Approve SKU identification, label content, protected surfaces and packing arrangement for the shipment.
- Release and repeat orders
- Agree who reviews the records, how deviations are resolved and which approved revision governs the next batch.
What a useful record identifies
Part or batch reference, specification revision, date, method, measured result and acceptance decision. Where a public image lacks these details, treat it as process evidence only.
