RFQ
Request a Quote
Send the item detail and the turnaround required; a written quotation is returned.
What to Include
The first message can carry everything a quotation needs. Send these six:
- Item. Manufacturer, model or type, range, and quantity.
- Measurement. The points, ranges or parameters that must be covered.
- Tolerance. The specification the item is held to, and whether a statement of conformity is required.
- Standard. Any standard, customer specification or accreditation requirement the work must satisfy.
- Turnaround. The date the item is needed back, and whether expedited handling should be priced.
- Engagement type. Whether the item is shipped in, collected, or the work is carried out on site.
Where detail is absent it is requested before pricing, so providing it up front removes a round trip. Quotations are issued in writing and hold for thirty days unless stated otherwise on the quotation.
Submit a Request
Every request is reviewed against present capacity and answered within one business day. Noting urgency in the scope field promotes it within the queue rather than opening a new one.
Before You Send
Terms are stated on the quotation itself. Validity, payment, turnaround and liability are set out in the terms and conditions. How results are reported, and what a certificate does and does not state, is covered on the disclaimer page.
