Verify the supplier and documents before purchase
Keep supplier identity product information sample evaluation and batch records together when reviewing a CMS purchase
Review the company profile and production photographs then confirm the contracting company and supply details directly with KARN
Review the company profile
Review the factory information
Match the grade powder or flake form sample reference and measurement conditions before comparing viscosity
Check the flake viscosity method
Request the current TDS and SDS by grade and form Request a COA against an actual order or batch reference Keep final specifications and commercial terms confirmed in writing
Check document request requirements
Before shipment confirm whether the sample comes from a normal production batch how the sample specification relates to future bulk supply and which batch tolerances and acceptance records will apply Keep sample approval complaint route and commercial terms in the written record
Check the controlled document request path
Information the current TDS and sample must confirm
- Exact viscosity specification
- pH
- Packing
- Grade specific process suitability
- Final purchasing specification
Do not assume suitability before confirmation
Published grade identity does not confirm suitability for a particular recipe fabric or production process Confirm the final decision with a representative sample and the current KARN TDS
