Drawing Approval Guide

To make the process of checking and approving drawings more efficient, the below will assist in the review and signing of all tablet and tool drawings. The check points listed below will direct you to the key areas ensuring your ordered products conform to the correct specification.

The views are generic, therefore if you have requested any special features or specifications, please ensure these are detailed in your drawings.

If you require assistance completing this process, please contact a member of our Design Team by using the web chat icon on the bottom right of the screen and selecting ‘Drawing/Specification Enquiries’.
