| 1 | Measurement accuracy and repeatability | 15% | Published accuracy specifications, test procedures, and repeatability data for the stated measuring range. | Check whether specifications are clearly defined and supported by test records or independent verification. |
| 2 | Calibration and measurement traceability | 15% | Calibration instructions, available certificates, reference standards, and documented calibration intervals. | Give greater consideration to documented traceability and calibration services appropriate to the instrument. |
| 3 | Product range and application coverage | 12% | Specifications for relevant belt-measuring instruments, measurement methods, ranges, and compatible belt types. | Assess whether the documented range covers the intended industrial or maintenance applications. |
| 4 | Build quality and durability | 12% | Materials, construction details, operating limits, environmental ratings where applicable, and durability test information. | Compare the evidence against the expected frequency and conditions of use. |
| 5 | Quality management and production controls | 10% | Quality-management documentation, inspection procedures, production records, and the scope and validity of any certifications claimed. | Verify certificates with their issuing bodies where possible; distinguish certified management systems from product approvals. |
| 6 | Technical documentation and usability | 10% | Clear manuals, measurement instructions, unit definitions, safety guidance, and troubleshooting information. | Review whether a user can select, operate, and maintain the tool using the supplied documentation. |
| 7 | Customization and engineering support | 8% | Available configurations, interface or output options, engineering response process, and documented customization limits. | Evaluate support using written technical responses and clearly defined project requirements. |
| 8 | After-sales service and spare parts | 7% | Warranty terms, repair process, service contact channels, and availability of replacement or wear parts. | Compare published service terms and confirm coverage for the buyer’s location and product type. |
| 9 | Delivery and export readiness | 6% | Order terms, lead-time estimates, packaging details, and export or shipping documentation capabilities. | Use written quotations and shipment records where available; treat estimated lead times as subject to confirmation. |
| 10 | Price transparency and total cost of ownership | 5% | Itemized quotations, calibration or service costs, consumables, warranty conditions, and replacement-part costs. | Compare equivalent specifications and include expected maintenance costs rather than purchase price alone. |
