If the specification is to be in electronic form for emailing, then insert or attach an image, or images, of the finished product. The preferred formats are jpeg or bitmap.
Otherwise, good quality photographs or illustrations will be accepted: these should be mailed to the Homebase Technical Department if fax transmission is likely to render them unclear.

The materials used in the manufacture of the product.
Formulated products. Give complete formulation details (ingredients and quantities by percentage), using common and scientific names. State the function of each ingredient within the product.
Provide an assessment of the product according to the UK‘s Chemical Hazard Information for Packaging (CHIP) Regulations, and a Material Safety Data Sheet.
Fabricated products. Use diagrams with names of parts to show how the product is constructed. Show major overall dimensions, with tolerances, of the product and its major components.
List standard parts such as fastenings, cable, etc. State material and finishing treatment, including colour, for each item.
‘Natural’ products. (For example, seashells, sponges, sand, peat, etc) Give specific details of where they are harvested, excavated or extracted, and how they are processed or treated, for example, cleaned or graded. Please refer to Homebase policy for ―Sourcing from the Wild‖

How the product is made, and how its quality is managed during manufacture. One or more detailed flow process charts of the production process must be provided.
Begin at ?goods received‘, through to ?goods into warehouse‘. Every quality check must be identified and described, so that the safety of the product can be assessed by means of a ?risk assessment‘ study by HTD.
How the product‘s safety legality or performance is demonstrated.
Append the Certificates of Conformance and/or test reports that show the finished product meets recognised
standards of safety or performance, as agreed with the product manager at the beginning of the NPD process. Also append certificates of conformance for critical components.
The test certificates supplied must be complete and legible. Care must be taken to ensure the reference numbers used on the test certificates, match those used on the specification.

Where products are sold by weight, volume, number or length, evidence must be provided to demonstrate the product complies with Weights and Measures legislation.

The manufacturer's Quality Assurance or Quality Control procedures must contain a documented system for full 'product traceability', so that any batch of raw material or components can be identified, both as to its source and to its use in this or another product.
Each product and its packaging must bear a code that would enable non-conforming product to be selectively removed from sale or recalled from public use.
The code must be readily visible on an external surface of the product and/or its packaging; illustrate where on the product or pack the code will be shown.
