# PPAP for Aluminum Castings: What Buyers Need from a China Supplier

  • required PPAP level or customer-specific format
  • drawing revision and special characteristics
  • material, heat treatment, and traceability needs
  • CMM scope and datum scheme
  • leak testing, X-ray, or functional test scope if applicable
  • sample quantity and pilot-run expectation
  • retention and record-submission rules

What the supplier should clarify

Ask the supplier which PPAP elements it can support directly, which depend on subcontracted processes, and which require buyer-provided forms or customer-specific requirements.
