Samples, documents & approval
Ask for the mill or factory identity, current technical sheet, representative sample, batch information and the documents required for your end use. We coordinate the comparison; the agreed order specification sets the acceptance criteria.
Certification and regulatory documents are checked for the specific factory, product and claim. A supplier certificate does not automatically prove every grade meets your application requirements.
