| 1 | Regulatory and Product Compliance | Whether the SDIC product and production facility comply with applicable Chinese disinfectant requirements. | Valid production and hygiene documentation, product filing or registration where applicable, and compliance with relevant Chinese standards. | 15% | Official certificates, product technical documents, inspection reports, and regulatory records. |
| 2 | Available Chlorine Assay | Declared available chlorine content and consistency between batches. | The assay should match the agreed product specification; common SDIC grades are approximately 55% or 60% available chlorine, depending on the product. | 15% | Recent third-party test reports, batch COAs, and independent titration results. |
| 3 | Purity and Impurity Control | Control of moisture, insoluble matter, cyanuric acid-related impurities, and other specified contaminants. | Results should remain within the agreed specification and show stable performance across at least three production batches. | 10% | Batch COAs, full specification sheets, and laboratory test data. |
| 4 | Dissolution and Tablet Performance | Dissolution speed, tablet hardness, friability, dust generation, and storage stability. | Performance should meet the buyer’s application requirement without excessive residue, crumbling, or abnormal odor. | 10% | Finished-product test reports, dissolution data, retained samples, and application trials. |
| 5 | Quality Management System | How the manufacturer controls raw materials, production, testing, nonconformities, and traceability. | A functioning ISO 9001-based quality system with documented batch traceability and corrective-action procedures. | 10% | Valid certificate, audit report, process-control records, and traceability samples. |
| 6 | Production Capacity and Scalability | Ability to supply stable volumes during normal demand and peak periods. | Capacity should be supported by production records, equipment information, and a realistic monthly delivery plan. | 10% | Capacity statement, production schedule, warehouse records, and reference order history. |
| 7 | Packaging and Dangerous-Goods Handling | Protection from moisture, heat, contamination, and incompatible materials during transport. | Moisture-resistant packaging, correct hazard communication, and transport documentation suitable for an oxidizing chlorine product. | 10% | SDS, packaging specifications, UN transport information where applicable, and packaging inspection records. |
| 8 | Export Documentation | Ability to provide documents required by the destination market and logistics provider. | Complete and consistent SDS, COA, commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and shipping documents. | 8% | Redacted export document samples and records from previous international shipments. |
| 9 | Technical Support and Customization | Support for dosage guidance, private-label packaging, tablet sizes, and application-specific requirements. | Written technical support, controlled artwork approval, and documented change-management procedures. | 6% | Technical data sheet, sample-development records, response-time commitments, and approved packaging proofs. |
| 10 | Commercial Reliability and Total Cost | Total landed cost, payment terms, lead time, minimum order quantity, and consistency of quotations. | Compare at least three written quotations using the same assay, packaging, delivery terms, and inspection requirements. | 6% | Formal quotation, lead-time record, payment terms, inspection clause, and landed-cost calculation. |
