01 / MATING INTERFACETHE CONNECTION IS A SYSTEM

Consider both sides of the joint.

A fastener works with a mating feature, contact surfaces and installation space. Describe each interface before deciding which details need confirmation.

{{with Column "fasteners"}}Explore component records ↗{{end}}

CONCEPT ONLY / NOT TO SCALE / COMPONENTS SHOWN DO NOT ESTABLISH A MATCH

A / ENGAGEMENT

Thread to thread

Identify the controlled thread system, size, pitch, direction and tolerance for both mating parts.

B / BEARING

Surface to surface

Review bearing area, clearance and the effect of any washer or surface treatment with the joint designer.

C / ACCESS

Tool to drive

Allow for tool approach, head clearance and the intended assembly or inspection method.

02 / REFERENCE CONTROLDESIGNATION + VERSION + SCOPE

BEFORE COMPARING REFERENCES

Record the edition, not just the number.

A similar designation does not establish equivalence or interchangeability. Check the applicable document and edition against the drawing, project requirements and mating component.

{{with Column "standards"}}Standards & selection ↗{{end}}

DOCUMENT CHECK / FIELDS TO CARRY FORWARD

01 / SOURCE
Issuing body and exact designation
02 / VERSION
Edition or revision required by the project
03 / SCOPE
Drawing revision, deviations and acceptance requirements
Obtain the applicable controlled document and resolve differences with the responsible designer or supplier.

Make the handover legible.

Send what is known and mark what is still open. Separate controlled requirements from preferences so they can be reviewed against the correct drawing and revision.
