Company & process credentials
Identify the required quality-system certificate, company welding certification, governing code, procedure qualification, welder qualification, special-process approval, or customer approval.
Buyer due diligence
Quality requirements belong in the quote—not in a blanket website badge.
CMF confirms the current documentation and exact scope available for each project before accepting the order. This page does not claim a universal ISO, CWB, code, welder, process, tolerance, or inspection credential.
Put it in the RFQ
Name the exact evidence your project requires.
Terms such as “certified,” “inspection-ready,” or “food grade” are not complete requirements. Send the governing document, revision, acceptance criteria, and required record type.
Material & traceability records
State grade, specification revision, heat or lot traceability, origin restrictions, mill test report, certificate of conformance, chain of custody, and record-retention needs.
Inspection & validation
Define critical dimensions, sampling level, gauge or method, first-article format, PPAP level, weld inspection, coating tests, leak tests, reports, and approval authority.
Partner-performed processes
For coating, plating, heat treatment, testing, or other outside work, specify required partner approvals and documents. CMF confirms the proposed route and responsibilities in the quote.
What you will receive
A clear answer about the current scope.
CMF will review the request against current records, people, processes, equipment, suppliers, partners, and capacity. If a required credential or record is not available for the proposed route, that gap should be resolved before the order—not hidden behind general marketing copy.
Confirm
The quote or supporting communication identifies which requirements are available and who owns each deliverable.
Clarify
Ambiguous codes, revisions, tolerances, inspection levels, and approval responsibilities are raised before release.
Decline or reroute
If a mandatory requirement cannot be met, CMF will not imply coverage. An approved alternative route must be documented before proceeding.
Retain
Required production and supplier records are defined with their format, delivery point, and retention period in the project scope.
Prepare the handoff
Send the drawing and the quality package together.
Include the drawing revision, bill of materials, material specifications, applicable codes, customer-specific requirements, inspection plan, sample forms, record format, quantity, required date, and delivery destination.
Sensitive documents: Do not submit classified, export-controlled, or specially regulated data through the public form. Contact CMF first to agree on an appropriate transfer method and confidentiality arrangement.
