Industrial Centrifuge Buyer Guide
Industrial Centrifuge Export Document Checklist
Freeze the document register, review status, timing and responsibility before production. “Documents included” is not a usable contractual scope.
Direct answer
Create a document register that names each deliverable, format, language, revision path, source, buyer review status and due date. Separate design documents, manufacturing and test evidence, buyer-requested conformity records, packing and shipping files, manuals, commissioning records and spares. Availability of every certificate remains subject to the selected source and exact scope.
Design and interface documents
- Approved equipment data sheet and deviation register
- General arrangement, nozzle or interface, foundation and lifting information
- Process and utility list within the contracted boundary
- Motor, electrical, instrument, interlock and control documents
- Wetted-material and wear-part schedule
Manufacturing and test records
- Inspection and test plan
- Buyer-requested material, welding and NDT records within scope
- Component and instrument certificates within scope
- Material-test, FAT and balancing or vibration records as contracted
- Nonconformity, corrective action, concession and release records
Conformity evidence
List destination and buyer requirements precisely. CE, ATEX, IECEx, UL/CSA-related electrical needs, GMP documentation or another requirement must not be assumed from a product family.
For each item record issuing body or source, exact model and component scope, standard or directive reference, revision, validity and whether the document is a declaration, certificate, report or supplier statement.
Packing and shipping documents
| Group | Examples | Control point |
|---|---|---|
| Packing | Packing list, preservation, moisture protection, lifting and center-of-gravity marks | Approved before packing release |
| Commercial/shipping | Invoice, packing list, origin or transport documents as contracted | Names, quantities, weights and marks align |
| Technical handover | Manuals, drawings, reports and digital files | Final approved revision accompanies handover |
| Spares | Part numbers, quantities, preservation and storage | Matches purchase order and installed configuration |
Commissioning and final handover
- Installation and utility readiness checklist
- Commissioning procedure and responsibility matrix
- SAT or performance-test protocol and records where included
- Training record
- Open-item and remedy list
- As-built or final drawings and manuals
- Warranty and support terms exactly as contracted, without website assumptions
Document register workflow
A practical buyer decision path
Define
Application, specification, quantity, destination and evidence needs.
Compare
Align supplier responses, methods, exclusions and commercial basis.
Verify
Check the agreed company, product, document or on-site scope.
Control
Record samples, approvals, changes, inspection and shipment milestones.
Close
Deliver the agreed record, open-item list and next-step decision.
Why it matters
Late document discovery can delay manufacture, inspection, shipment, customs, installation or acceptance. A register makes missing scope visible while it can still be negotiated.
Buyer decision criteria
- Every deliverable is named
- Source and exact scope are traceable
- Language and format are agreed
- Review codes and due dates are defined
- Conformity evidence is not assumed
- Packing and shipping data reconcile
- Final revisions and spares match the machine
Specification checklist
| Column | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Document ID / title | Unambiguous control and retrieval |
| Source / scope | Who issues it and which machine/component it covers |
| Revision / status | Current approved state |
| Required date | Design, manufacturing, FAT, shipment or handover gate |
| Buyer comments / disposition | Close review and deviations |
Document checklist
- Controlled process and equipment data sheet with revision status
- Supplier technical offer and line-by-line deviation register
- General arrangement, interfaces, foundation information and utility list
- Wetted-material schedule and buyer-requested source evidence
- Motor, drive, instrument, interlock and control-system documents
- Inspection and test plan with hold or witness points
- Material-test, FAT and SAT protocols and records where included
- Operation, safety, cleaning and maintenance manuals in the agreed language
- Spare-parts, wear-parts, packing, preservation and shipment-document list
Common mistakes
- Writing “standard documents included”
- Requesting certificates after source selection
- Confusing declarations, certificates and test reports
- Shipping before final manuals and drawings are controlled
- Ignoring packing marks and lifting data
- Accepting documents for another model or expired scope
Questions to ask suppliers
- Which submitted process inputs and representative tests support the proposed principle?
- Which assumptions, exclusions and open technical items remain?
- How are throughput, cake, recovery, liquid quality and wash results measured?
- Which wetted material applies to each component, and what evidence is available?
- What is demonstrated during material test, FAT and SAT respectively?
- Which drawings, manuals, inspection records, spares and commissioning services are included?
- Which buyer-requested conformity documents are available for this exact source and scope?

Frequently asked questions
Does a CE request mean every source can provide it?
No. Availability and exact conformity route must be confirmed for the selected source and project.
When should the document register be approved?
Before production release, with earlier draft requirements included in the RFQ.
Should digital files be specified?
Yes. State language, searchable PDF or native format needs, naming and handover method.
Are packing records technical documents?
They are part of controlled export handover because preservation, lifting, dimensions and marks affect delivery.
How are document deviations handled?
Record the missing or changed requirement, effect, proposed disposition and authorized approval.
Does the website promise a warranty period?
No. Warranty and after-sales terms are source-specific and must be written in the contract.
