The Professional's Guide to Sourcing Induction Cooktop Racks from China: Key Specifications for Your RFQ

Introduction

A well-defined Request for Quotation (RFQ) is the first step to successful sourcing. It eliminates ambiguity, ensures you receive comparable quotes, and speeds up the sampling process. This guide outlines the critical specifications to include when inquiring about induction cooktop racks from Chinese suppliers.

Section 1: Core Design & Dimensional Specifications

Providing precise details here is non-negotiable for a perfect fit.

  • Compatibility: Specify the brand and model of the induction cooktop the rack is designed for. Providing a diagram or photo with top-view dimensions is ideal.

  • Overall Dimensions: Request the exact Length, Width, and Height.

  • Foot Design: Do you require adjustable feet (for uneven countertops) or fixed feet? Should they include non-slip rubber pads?

  • Load Capacity: Define the required static load-bearing capacity (e.g., ≥ 50 kg / 110 lbs).

Section 2: Material & Finishing Specifications

This section directly impacts product quality, durability, and cost.

  • Main Material: Specify your preference (e.g., 304 Stainless Steel, 430 Stainless Steel, Cast Iron). 304 is generally recommended for its superior rust resistance.

  • Surface Finish: Indicate the desired finish (e.g., Brushed, Mirror Polish, Black Electroplating, Enamel Coating).

  • Craftsmanship: Mention requirements for smooth welding seams and rounded edges to prevent scratches, ensuring a premium feel.

Section 3: Commercial & Logistics Requirements

Clarifying these points avoids surprises later.

  • MoQ (Minimum Order Quantity): State your expected initial order volume.

  • Packaging: Specify packaging needs: Neutral Brown Box, Custom Branded Packaging, or Retail Color Box.

  • Certifications: List any required international standards (e.g., LFGB for food contact materials in Europe, RoHS for hazardous substances).
