Technical Documentation FAQ
Which documents are supplied with an order?
The document package depends on the product and agreed order scope. Required documents should be listed with the inquiry or purchase specification.
What is the difference between a datasheet and a GA drawing?
A datasheet defines the technical configuration and operating information. A GA drawing shows the physical arrangement, dimensions and interfaces.
Can MTCs be provided for every component?
Availability depends on the component, material source and agreed traceability scope. Required components and certificate types should be confirmed before production.
What is included in a test report?
A test report normally identifies the product, test method, medium, pressure or operating condition, duration, acceptance criteria and recorded result.
What is the difference between an ITP and a QAP?
An ITP focuses on inspection and testing stages. A QAP provides a broader view of quality responsibilities, controls, procedures and records.
Can customer witness points be included in the ITP?
Review, witness and hold points can be included when they are agreed before manufacturing and clearly defined in the approved ITP.
Can documents be submitted before production?
Datasheets, drawings, ITPs and applicable quality documents can be submitted for review according to the agreed project schedule.
What information is needed for a document-package quotation?
Provide the document register, equipment list, required language, formats, submission schedule, inspection scope and final dossier requirements.
