How to Select a Reliable Antioxidant Supplier from China

Step 1: Define Your Technical Requirements

• Purity specification (par exemple., ≥99.0%)
• Key physical parameters: point de fusion, Couleur, acid value, moisture
• Regulatory compliance required: FDA, EU 10/2011, ATTEINDRE, RoHS
• Required documentation: COA, FDS, DT, REACH SVHC declaration

Step 2: Evaluate Quality Systems

A complete COA should include: product name, Numéro CAS, batch number, test date, all parameter results, and method references. COAs without batch numbers or test dates are a red flag.

Request an SDS in your country's format (GHS). Verify the ISO 9001 certification status of the manufacturer.

Step 3: Assess Regulatory Compliance

• ATTEINDRE (EU): Verify registration for substances >1 tonne/year import
• FDA (USA): Request 21 CFR compliance letter for food-contact applications
• RoHS/SVHC: Request SVHC declaration under REACH Article 33

Step 4: Evaluate Export Capability

• Experience exporting to your target country
• Correct HS code classification
• Availability of all export documents: invoice, liste de colisage, B/L, COO
• Flexibility on Incoterms (FOB, CIF, DDP, DAP)

Common Red Flags

• Cannot provide batch-specific COA on request
• All COA results are suspiciously identical across batches
• No SDS available, or SDS copied from a different product
• Unable to name which manufacturer produces the material
• Price significantly below market level
• Unwilling to provide samples before a commercial order
