Essential Questions to Ask Suppliers
Technical Specifications
What are the exact iodine numbers, BET surface area, and pore size distribution of your products? Can you provide detailed technical data sheets?
Quality Assurance
What quality control measures are in place? Do you provide certificates of analysis with each batch? How do you handle quality issues?
Production Capacity
What is your monthly production capacity? Can you handle large-scale orders while maintaining consistent quality? What are your lead times?
Customization Options
Can you customize products for specific applications? Do you offer different activation methods, mesh sizes, or impregnated carbons?
Support Services
What technical support do you provide? Do you offer application consulting, troubleshooting, and after-sales service?
Red Flags to Avoid
- Unclear qualification or certification
- Lack of ISO, NSF and other relevant certifications or inspection reports to ensure that the products comply with industry standards.
- Unable to provide samples or test reports
- Legitimate suppliers are usually willing to provide small batch samples or third-party test reports to prove quality.
- Unreasonable offers
- Prices that are significantly lower than the average market price may imply poor product quality or the presence of substandard products.
- Unstable delivery lead time
- Unable to provide a fixed production schedule or delivery date, often delayed shipments, affecting the customer's project schedule.
