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.
Gaps are queried before a price is put together, so the more that arrives with the request the shorter the exchange. Quotations come in writing, valid for thirty days unless otherwise stated on the quotation itself.
Submit a Request
Each submission is checked against current capacity and answered inside one business day. Flagging a request as urgent in the scope field raises its position in the queue; it does not create a second queue.
Before You Send
Stated terms accompany every quotation. 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.
