2) Chemistry and mechanical properties: per the above standard; additional requirements (e.g. Ni ≥8.0%, PREN ≥____) listed separately.
3) Surface: code ____ (2B/BA/No.4); permitted defects and sample approval: ____.
4) Dimensions and tolerances: thickness ____ mm (tolerance class ____), width ____ mm, length/coil weight ____, inner diameter ____ mm, flatness requirement ____.
5) Delivery condition: solution annealed / annealed / temper rolled; edge condition (slit/ mill edge); skin-passed or not.
6) Mill certificate: EN 10204 3.1 (or 3.2) with heat number, measured chemistry and mechanicals; heat traceability.
7) Packaging and marking: protective film if required, moisture protection, lifting marks, coil number and label position.
8) Inspection and acceptance: incoming sampling ratio, PMI verification, dimensional and surface inspection methods, retest rules.
9) Claims: claim period ____ days, agreed retest body, replacement and compensation terms.
10) Delivery and documents: lead time, shipping terms (FOB/CIF etc.), document list.
Tip: mark the critical items (grade, surface, tolerance, certificate type) as key clauses and check them one by one at acceptance instead of relying on verbal agreements.
