Supplier review

A practical document checklist for reviewing a paper cup supplier

Read beyond the file name: check the issuing entity, validity, product scope, tested sample and destination market.

01 | Match the company and payment identity

The business licence, quotation, contract, payment details and manufacturer should have an explainable relationship. Resolve name or address differences in writing before payment.

02 | Read production licence scope and validity

Confirm the licence holder, the food-use paper packaging or container scope, and the expiry date.

03 | Management certificates are not product tests

ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 describe management, environment and occupational health and safety system scopes. They do not replace food-contact testing of a specific product.

04 | Match test reports to the real sample

Check applicant, sample description, material, test items, standards, report date and conclusion. A report supports only the sample and tests it names.

05 | Connect evidence to the purchase order

State the product, use and destination country so both parties can confirm which evidence is relevant, then retain the version used for shipment release.

NEXT STEP

Take the confirmed information into the builder and submit a clearer enquiry.
