Quality Control

Define the Inspection Evidence Before Production

Inspection points, acceptance values, packing requirements and deliverables belong in the quotation and approved order documents.

Order-Specific Control

Define Product Records From Material Check to Loading

The exact checkpoints depend on the fence system and contract. AP Fencing records only the requirements agreed for that order; third-party testing, inspection reports and certificate copies must be specifically included when required.

Inspection and Shipment Control

Match Each Checkpoint to the Approved Order

These company-supplied operating views show current dimensional checking, finish processing, packing and loading activities. Required tools, sampling, acceptance values and record formats must be written into the order scope.

Tape measurement across a welded mesh fence panel and reinforcement fold

Panel Dimension Check

Record the required dimensions, tolerances and sampling points.

Fence components moving through a powder coating production line

Finish Process Control

Define the ordered coating system, process checks and acceptance records.

Galvanized welded mesh fence panels strapped in a protected export bundle

Packing Checks

Confirm separators, framing, bundle limits and component identification.

Protected fence panel bundles positioned for container loading

Loading Records

List the bundle sequence and shipment records required by the order.

01

Approved Product Schedule

Panel geometry, wire construction, dimensions, post system, fixings and finish are recorded in the approved order requirements.

02

Material and Order Identification

State the material, product, finish and order identifiers required to keep panels, posts and accessories matched to the same order.

03

Dimensional Inspection Scope

Define the values, tolerances, sampling method and inspection stage for wire, aperture, panels and posts.

04

Finish Inspection Scope

Specify the ordered coating system, measurement method, acceptance values and required record format.

05

Packing Protection Plan

Confirm face, corner, post, gate and fixing-carton protection against the agreed handling method.

06

Loading and Delivery Records

List the bundle identification, loading sequence and shipment records required for the order.

Standards and Documentation

Request the Exact Document Scope

A standard name in an RFQ does not by itself prove product certification. State the required edition, product scope, testing party, inspection stage and document type so the quotation can confirm what is available.

  • Approved dimensions and component schedule
  • Agreed inspection values and sampling method
  • Coating or material documents included in the order
  • Packing and loading records included in the order

Standards in the RFQ

Reference the Edition, Product Scope and Required Evidence

Use the official scope to decide whether a standard applies, then state the edition, acceptance values, inspection party and document deliverables in the quotation request.

ASTM F2453/F2453M-14(2025)

Covers specified welded wire mesh fence fabric in panels or rolls. Confirm mesh scope, coating type, required tests and the edition named in the project documents.

Review the ASTM scope

ASTM F3204-16(2024)

Provides guidance for site-specific welded-wire security fence systems. The responsible project team still defines the required protection level and regulatory interfaces.

Review the ASTM guide

BS EN 10223-7:2012

Addresses steel wire welded panels for fencing, including general panel characteristics, coatings, properties and tolerances. Match the cited clauses to the ordered panel type.

Review the BSI scope

BS 1722-12:2016

Specifies steel palisade fence and gate requirements within its stated configurations. Confirm the fence category, height, components, installation scope and evidence required by the project.

Review the BSI scope

Referencing a standard here does not state that every AP Fencing configuration is certified or compliant. Product applicability and document availability are confirmed only in the approved quotation and order scope.
