SPECIFICATION BRIEF

Lock agrochemical manufacturers questions before the RFQ leaves your desk

This checklist is a purchase-decision aid, not an ESG statement and not a factory brochure. Use it to decide which assay, pack and document questions must be closed, which can stay open, and which belong to EHS or regulatory reviewers. Agrochemical Sourcing will not fill unknown fields with typical industry values.

  1. Identity gate Name, CAS, formulation type
  2. Assay gate Active content, purity, moisture
  3. Pack gate Net content, inner material, pallet
  4. File gate SDS, TDS, CoA, transport class
Printed specification checklist beside sealed crop-protection samples

DECISION GATES

Indicators this brief tracks for agrochemical manufacturers replies

CAS Identity completeness

If the CAS number is unknown, keep the common name plus intended crop or use, then ask the factory to state the CAS they intend to quote. Do not merge two CAS numbers on one price line.

Assay Acceptance window

Write the numeric assay or concentration the receiving lab will accept, including units. If the window is still undecided, mark it open rather than copying a catalog typical value.

CoA Lot evidence format

List the certificate of analysis fields you expect: assay, moisture, pH, particle size, trace metals or others. A blank CoA promise is not a field list.

SDS Exact-product file

The safety data sheet and technical data sheet must match concentration and formulation. Related-grade files stay in a holding column until replaced.

STILL OPEN UNTIL QUOTED

Questions the specification brief should not pretend to answer

  • Biological performance, residue or crop safety for any program
  • US EPA label status unless the supplier returns a product-specific statement
  • Inventory, production slot or lead time before a written factory reply
  • Savings against a market index; only same-basis wholesale quotations are compared
  • Transport acceptance by a named carrier before UN number and SDS are attached

If a factory proposes a different formulation, pack or assay, record it as an alternate path and obtain buyer approval. Then return to quote matching or the procurement article for the comparison table.

Submit the locked specification brief

Send CAS if known, assay units, net fill and the remaining file list. We request factory replies against those gates, not against a generic crop-protection catalog page.
