OEM and ODM sample approval: creating a production reference
Agree the development scope, assess sample differences and keep an approved specification so the sample process gives production a clear reference.

How the work moves forward
- 01
Define the development scope
Establish whether you have a complete design or will use a factory's existing platform. Agree on responsibilities and costs for design, tooling and packaging development.
- 02
Coordinate samples and revisions
Set evaluation criteria before sampling and consolidate feedback. Use reference materials for requirements such as color and dimensions that can otherwise be interpreted differently.
- 03
Hand over the approved specification
Bring together the approved sample, drawing versions, packaging files and inspection criteria. Check cost and schedule implications before proceeding with later changes.

Scope and points to confirm
Design rights, trademarks, tooling ownership and destination-market requirements need separate confirmation before contracting. Coordination does not replace accredited testing or certification, and it does not guarantee sales performance.
