ELEVGRID / NEW EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING
OEM Component
Supply
Bring the drawing.
Define the interface.
Plan the batch.
Prepare transformer component enquiries for new equipment manufacture around your drawings, revisions and production requirements.

Confirmed Component Scope
Define the component before the supply route.
- Published scope
- Transformer components supplied against approved drawings, interfaces and inspection requirements. This is the confirmed general enquiry scope; acceptance of a specific part remains subject to technical review.
- Part-level confirmation
- Identify the component, its function in the new transformer or equipment, your part number and the drawing that defines it. The public component directory currently contains no verified individual product listings.
- Quotation boundary
- Separate the component itself from any requested tooling, sample work, inspection records or packaging. Ask for each requested item to be explicitly included or excluded in the quotation.
03 / OEM PROCUREMENT
Drawings, Revisions and Interface Inputs
One identifiable revision. Clear mating interfaces.
- Drawing register
- Provide drawing number, revision, issue date, units and release status for every part. Identify the controlling drawing and any related assembly drawing or bill of materials.
- Interface definition
- Mark the mating component, mounting arrangement, connection geometry, orientation and clearance requirements that apply. Identify customer-controlled interfaces and unresolved dimensions.
- Revision conflicts
- Flag differences between drawings, models, specifications and samples. State which reference should govern; resolve conflicts before approving manufacture.
04 / OEM PROCUREMENT
Material and Technical Requirements
Describe what the part must meet.
- Material specification
- State the required material designation, governing specification and revision, plus any required evidence of conformity. If the material is undecided, mark it To Be Confirmed.
- Service and process inputs
- Describe the intended duty and relevant electrical, thermal, mechanical or environmental conditions. Specify surface finish, treatment or special process requirements only where applicable.
- Permitted alternatives
- Identify whether alternatives may be proposed and who can approve them. Material grades, process feasibility and compliance evidence must be confirmed for the particular component.
05 / OEM PROCUREMENT
Sample, Prototype or Batch Requirements
Separate development needs from production demand.
- 01 / Sample
- State whether a sample is required, what it needs to demonstrate and whether it will be used for dimensional review, assembly fit or another stated purpose.
- 02 / Prototype
- Provide prototype quantity, target review date, tooling expectations and acceptance criteria. Identify the person or team responsible for approving the next stage.
- 03 / Batch
- Separate the first order quantity, quantity per release and estimated annual volume. State the delivery destination, requested schedule and whether later releases are forecasts or committed orders.
Stage definitions above are enquiry inputs. Sample approval does not by itself establish batch pricing, tooling terms, capacity or delivery commitments; confirm these in the quotation and order.
06 / OEM PROCUREMENT
Dimensions, Tolerances and Inspection Inputs
Make acceptance criteria part of the enquiry.
- Critical characteristics
- Mark the datums, critical dimensions, tolerance references and interface features on the drawing. Include units and identify any dimensions that require clarification.
- Inspection request
- Specify the characteristics to inspect, proposed method, sampling or coverage requirement, acceptance limits and requested report format. Flag any witness or approval hold points.
- Capability review
- Ask for confirmation that the requested inspection can be supported and included in scope. No standard tolerance, test facility, inspection method or acceptance guarantee is assumed.
07 / OEM PROCUREMENT
Documentation and Change Control
Keep the part, revision and release connected.
- Document package
- List the documents needed with the quotation, sample approval and shipment. Where required, request material records, dimensional results or conformity documents and define their content.
- Change request
- Identify the affected part, previous and proposed revision, reason for change and requested effective batch. Request written approval before a proposed substitution or deviation is used.
- Release record
- Define how approved drawings, sample decisions and open points should be referenced for the order. Agree how work in progress and remaining stock should be handled when a revision changes.
08 / OEM PROCUREMENT
Packaging and Batch Identification
Specify how each delivery should be identified.
- Protection and handling
- Describe protection needed for relevant surfaces, interfaces and storage conditions. Provide handling restrictions, destination and any packaging specification for review.
- Identification fields
- Request the identifiers needed on each item or package: part number, drawing revision, order reference, batch or lot identifier and quantity, as applicable.
- Shipment reconciliation
- State whether different revisions or batches must be packed separately. Define how the packing list and requested inspection records should refer to the delivered items.
09 / OEM PROCUREMENT
OEM RFQ Checklist
Prepare a reviewable enquiry.
- Contact and requirement
- Company and contact details; component type; new equipment application; order quantity; destination; required date; and estimated annual demand if known.
- Technical basis
- Drawing number and revision; interface references; material and dimensions; critical tolerances; sample and tooling needs; special processes; and inspection requirements.
- Attachments and open points
- Attach the drawing register and relevant specifications. Put revision details, interfaces, batch releases, packaging and document requirements in Additional Technical Requirements or an attachment. Mark unresolved items To Be Confirmed.
The existing RFQ accepts up to 8 non-empty files, 10 MB each: PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, JPG, JPEG or PNG. Use the OEM Component type.
Procurement / Connected next steps
Connect the drawing brief to project controls.
10 / NEXT STEP
Start with your current drawing revision.
Share the component requirement and the stage you are buying for. Include open questions so they can be addressed during technical clarification.
