SABAF OEM Burner Head First-Article Inspection: Acceptance Criteria That Protect Your Brand

When you OEM SABAF-compatible burner heads, the pre-production sample is your contract. But a sample that merely "looks right" is not enough — you need a first-article inspection (FAI) with clear, measurable acceptance criteria. Here is how to verify a sample before you commit to mass production.

What a First-Article Inspection Covers

FAI is the structured check that confirms the first production piece meets your specification. For burner heads, that means verifying dimensions, surface finish, and component fit against the drawing and the agreed standard — before the factory runs the full batch.

Key Acceptance Criteria to Check

• Outer diameter — confirm the cap measures to the required size (#130/#100/#75/#55) within tolerance.
• Surface finish — verify glossy flat, glossy concave, or matte flat matches the approved reference sample under consistent lighting.
• Component fit — check that cap, flame spreader, and bottom cup (if included) seat together without wobble or gap.
• Enamel quality — inspect for pinholes, colour drift, and coating thickness on the visible surface.

Why FAI Protects Your Brand

Catching a spec drift at first-article stage costs you a small delay. Catching it after a full container ships costs you money, reputation, and customer trust. A disciplined FAI is the cheapest insurance you can buy on an OEM project.
