Shared technology.
Shared understanding of responsibility.

StandardEvaluate suppliers on technical fit, quality, delivery, safety, support and terms. Do not change criteria for personal relationships or improper benefits.

CheckCheck specifications, evaluation criteria, submitted evidence and reasoning, requesting evidence appropriate to the actual supply scope.

ActionClearly identify missing information. Independently review and correct errors or conflicts and retain the result.

StandardAgree understandable scope, responsibilities, schedule, acceptance and payment terms. Do not impose unagreed costs or work through superior bargaining power.

CheckCompare drawings, specifications, deliverables, acceptance criteria, change approval and payment terms. Identify gaps between customer and supplier commitments.

ActionDocument agreed effects on cost and schedule for changes. Resolve acceptance or payment disputes with evidence; do not use unjustified delay as bargaining pressure.

StandardReview substitutions and specification or process changes under approval requirements. Similar appearance does not establish equivalence.

CheckCheck the reason, part number, interface, power, environment and security effects, further tests and required customer approval.

ActionAlign approved changes across drawings, parts lists, software and acceptance records. Restrict unauthorised changes while assessing impact and recovery.

StandardLimit shared information to the agreed purpose and recipients. Do not permit uncontrolled onward sharing of customer drawings, source code or credentials.

CheckCheck confidentiality, subcontracting, access, joint-output rights and return or deletion duties at completion.

ActionRestrict sharing or access after misdelivery or permission breaches and address recovery and response. Verify authority and record any changed sharing scope.

StandardApply prohibitions on forced or child labour, harassment, discrimination and improper charges in partnerships. Do not create delivery pressure that encourages violations.

CheckReview relevant age, work, rest, pay, recruitment-cost and reporting arrangements to the extent needed for the contract and site.

ActionPrioritise protection and causes when addressing risks. Set actions, ownership and verification; a supplier’s assurance alone does not establish completion.

StandardShare hazards and work boundaries among organisations at the same site. Contracting arrangements do not remove necessary safety coordination.

CheckConfirm plans, responsible contacts, training and competence, protection, simultaneous work and emergency communication before starting.

ActionHold and coordinate work after significant hazards or conflicts. Record restart conditions, communications and follow-up checks.

StandardCommunicate applicable environmental and substance requirements for supplied items. Possession of a document does not establish conformity of every model.

CheckMatch issuer, parts or models, revision date, substance scope and customer requirements in declarations and tests.

ActionResolve missing or inconsistent evidence through clarification or alternatives. Do not deliver non-conforming items without appropriate handling and disclosure.

StandardHand over usable operating and maintenance information as well as installation results. Do not promise unverified long-term supply or indefinite support.

CheckCheck configurations, tests, parts, versions, incident handling, warranty, end of support and replacement conditions against the contract.

ActionAssign ownership and timing for missing information. Communicate obsolescence or support changes with alternatives and transition considerations where operations may be affected.

StandardCheck origin and supply information required for the item and review forced-labour, conflict and illicit-sourcing risks. Unknown provenance is not confirmed conformity.

CheckReview suppliers, manufacturing countries and available smelter or refiner information with its product scope and period.

ActionAssess clarification, alternative sourcing or mitigation for uncertain or high-risk routes. Record information limits and decision grounds.

StandardConnect assessments to actual risks and improvement work rather than stopping at a score or signed declaration.

CheckIdentify severity, affected people, causes, action ownership and verification evidence. Define communication and review scope for lower-tier suppliers.

ActionCompare completion reports with evidence and check recurrence. Consider further measures within contractual authority if improvement fails; do not promise unauthorised sanctions.
