Welding Supplier Readiness Checklist

Buyers who get good outcomes from an overseas welding-equipment supplier don’t gamble — they verify. Check what your shortlisted supplier can actually prove, and see how ready they are.

Verifiable ISO 9001 certificate
Issuer, scope text and expiry you can confirm — not just a logo.

CE conformity for the machine
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC + Declaration of Conformity for the equipment.

Documented export history
Named countries and reference installations in similar industries.

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
Pre-shipment load test with video or witnessed sign-off.

Correct electricals for your market
Right voltage and 50/60 Hz controls — a top failure point on imports.

Spare-parts policy + lead time
Critical wear-part kit and a stated parts-availability commitment.

Staged payment terms
Deposit / pre-shipment / final after FAT — not 100% upfront.

Engineer-overseen QC
Quality owned by qualified welding coordination, not a nominal title.
