Components Sourced to Specification
Components sourced to specification are bought-in parts matched to a defined specification, such as material standard, performance rating, dimensions or certification, from suitable suppliers in our network. We verify that what arrives meets the specification before it reaches you.
What it is
Specifications may cover standards (for example ASTM, IS, DIN), ratings (pressure, load, temperature), dimensions and certifications. We identify suppliers who can meet them, compare options on cost and lead time, and check certificates and samples.
This saves your purchasing team from qualifying new suppliers for every requirement.
Typical applications
- Valves, fittings and pipe components
- Bearings, seals and power transmission parts
- Electrical and pneumatic components
- Raw materials to standard
- Certified items for projects
Materials & grades
- As per specification (metals, plastics, rubber)
- Certified materials with MTCs
Points to consider
- Provide the full specification including standards and ratings.
- Specify certificates and third-party inspection if required.
- Brand preferences should be stated.
- Allow time for certified material sourcing.
