1 Introduction<br />
The customers of <strong>Heinrich</strong> <strong>Huhn</strong> <strong>GmbH</strong> + <strong>Co</strong>. KG and <strong>Huhn</strong> PressTech spol., s.r.o. (hereinafter referred<br />
to as HUHN) are renowned system suppliers and automobile manufacturers.<br />
HUHN has set itself the goal of exceeding the expectations of its customers with regard to on-time<br />
delivery of top quality, defect-free, environmentally sound products at competitive prices.<br />
<strong>Co</strong>ntinuously impeccable quality and reliability of purchased parts, materials and services, as well as<br />
substantiated process and quality capabilities on the part of the supplier, make a considerable<br />
contribution to this goal. The quality provided by our suppliers is thus an integral part of HUHN’s product<br />
excellence, thus making it necessary for HUHN to fully incorporate its suppliers into its own management<br />
system.<br />
For this reason, we involve our suppliers in quality planning for new projects at the earliest possible stage.<br />
We endeavour to continue our own development in partnership with the best possible suppliers –<br />
because we will only be able to master the future mutually by supplying above average services.<br />
Technical Director <strong>Quality</strong> Manager<br />
Director of Procurement Purchasing Manager<br />
Please feel free to contact us at any time with questions or suggestions for improvement.<br />
HHR 001, revision level 12/10 <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> Page 3 of 13
1.1 Scope<br />
This quality assurance agreement is based upon DIN EN ISO 9001, VDA publications and ISO TS 16949,<br />
as well as requirements set forth in DIN EN ISO 14000 ff. and the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme<br />
(EMAS).<br />
As a supplement to our general terms and conditions of purchase, the referenced processes and<br />
sequences are an integral part of all supply contracts entered into by HUHN and its suppliers, and is valid<br />
for both HUHN facilities.<br />
HUHN expects its suppliers to implement all described processes and methods continuously and<br />
consistently, and to fully comply with all specified requirements.<br />
The supplier is fully responsible for the quality of supplied parts, materials and services.<br />
1.2 Target Agreement<br />
HUHN invariably expects “zero defects” from its suppliers, which our customers also demand from us. It<br />
is the duty of the supplier to firmly establish this objective within his quality management system, and to<br />
align all processes to it.<br />
In order to support this process, HUHN will establish realistic action limits together with the supplier if<br />
necessary, and monitor goal achievement by means of a periodic comparison of the actual situation with<br />
target values.<br />
In the event of deviation from target values, corrective measures must be implemented by the supplier<br />
and HUHN must be notified.<br />
1.3 Document Priority / Hierarchy<br />
In the event that various documents contain contradictory entries, HUHN must be notified in writing<br />
without delay. <strong>Co</strong>mponent specifications, delivery specifications and performance specifications have<br />
priority over all other documents.<br />
2 <strong>Quality</strong> and Environmental Management System Requirements<br />
Adequate quality capability necessitates the maintenance of an up-to-date, effective quality management<br />
system by each and every HUHN supplier. For this reason, the supplier must set up and verify a quality<br />
management system which complies at least with DIN EN ISO 9001:2000.<br />
Beyond this, HUHN expects its suppliers to be prepared to update their own QM systems as the standard<br />
itself is revised to approximate TS 16949 more closely, and to accommodate and continuously improve all<br />
aspects of an environmental management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001 or the Eco-<br />
Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).<br />
Certification from an independent authority or an environmental consultant, as well as recent system and<br />
process audit reports issued by automobile manufacturers or system suppliers if deemed appropriate by<br />
HUHN, may be submitted as substantiation of the status of the supplier’s management systems.<br />
<strong>Co</strong>mpanies related to special processes like hardening, galvanizing, welding or soldering are requested<br />
to document CQQ (AIAG)-requirements in a sufficient way. HUHN reserve the right to ask for transmitting<br />
the relevant documents temporarily.<br />
HHR 001, revision level 12/10 <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> Page 4 of 13
3 Auditing<br />
3.1 Audits<br />
In the case of suppliers who are not yet certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001, VDA 6.1, QS-9000<br />
or ISO TS 16949, or who are unable to substantiate a successfully completed audit conducted by an<br />
automobile manufacturer or a renowned system supplier, HUHN will conduct an examination or potential<br />
analysis if applicable regarding the status of HUHN’s requirements with respect to the supplier’s quality<br />
management system (supplier audit).<br />
The supplier shall grant HUHN access to its facilities, as well as review of its documents and processes<br />
by previous appointment to this end. During the course of the supplier audit, HUHN may incorporate<br />
elements from regulatory frameworks including VDA 6.3, CQI 09-15 (AIAG) , customer specifications or<br />
its own requirements.<br />
In the case of suppliers who are certified in accordance with the above mentioned criteria, HUHN will, as<br />
a rule, not conduct a supplier audit, but will rather limit itself to a process or product audit if necessary.<br />
In the event of a process audit, the process sequence is observed and examined with regard to<br />
planning, development and production of a product which HUHN intends to purchase, to determine<br />
whether or not all requirements for error-free manufacturing of the product have been fulfilled.<br />
Reasons for process audits may include:<br />
� Verification of the product development process and the initial phase of large-scale production<br />
(new products)<br />
� <strong>Quality</strong> problems after delivery to HUHN<br />
� Process optimisation<br />
� Process changes<br />
� Moving the process to a different location<br />
The results of the audit demonstrate the supplier’s quality capability. In the event that deviations (defects)<br />
are detected, an action plan must be prepared by the supplier and approved by HUHN. The defects must<br />
be eliminated. HUHN reserves the right to convince itself that this process has been successful by<br />
auditing the implementation of corrective measures.<br />
Audit results and knowledge gained during the facilities tour shall be treated confidentially, and shall not<br />
be made available to any third party or parties by HUHN, unless such transmission is expressly approved<br />
by the supplier.<br />
3.2 Evaluation<br />
The results and findings of the audit shall be evaluated by HUHN’s auditors, and assessed in accordance<br />
with VDA guidelines. The supplier is then assigned to one of the following supplier relationship categories:<br />
� <strong>Supplier</strong>s assigned to category A (≥ 90%) are approved without restriction.<br />
� <strong>Supplier</strong>s assigned to category AB (≥ 80%) are approved with certain restrictions. The supplier<br />
must eliminate deviations detected during the audit within a specified period of time.<br />
� <strong>Supplier</strong>s assigned to category B (≥ 60%) are only permitted to ship goods in exceptional cases.<br />
Such exceptional cases are defined by HUHN as required.<br />
The supplier must eliminate deviations detected during the audit within a specified period of time, in<br />
order to achieve a rating of at least AB.<br />
� <strong>Supplier</strong>s with results of less than < 60% are disbarred.<br />
<strong>Supplier</strong> approvals (categories A and AB) do not simultaneously constitute production approval.<br />
Production approval is an integral part of the product/component approval described below. It must be<br />
requested by the supplier as part of the first article submission process. The supplier approval indicates<br />
that the supplier is capable of manufacturing products in accordance with HUHN’s quality requirements.<br />
HHR 001, revision level 12/10 <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> Page 5 of 13
4 Product/Process Development<br />
4.1 HUHN-Specific Products/Processes<br />
HUHN strives to involve the supplier in the developmental process as early as possible. This applies in<br />
particular to application-specific products/processes.<br />
By means of mutual development (within the framework of simultaneous engineering) and close cooperation<br />
from the product development stage right on up to initial series production, not only are R&D times reduced,<br />
qualitatively and economically optimised solutions are created as well for both companies. Potential sources<br />
of error can be avoided by implementing appropriate measures during the R&D phase, and prerequisites for<br />
technically stable, reliable manufacturing processes can be fulfilled.<br />
Objectives of cooperative work include:<br />
� Reduced R&D time and costs<br />
� Realisation of the most cost-effective solution<br />
� Top quality, durable and especially environmentally sound products<br />
� Minimisation of the risk of error<br />
� On-time launch of series production with technically mature products<br />
� Avoidance of product liability risks<br />
HUHN provides the supplier with all necessary information.<br />
In particular this includes:<br />
� Specification (drawings, delivery specifications etc.)<br />
� Intended purpose<br />
� Special and particularly important features for functions and assembly<br />
� Packaging and shipping requirements<br />
The supplier must make the following contributions during product/process development:<br />
� Suggestions which serve to:<br />
– Avoid potential errors<br />
– Reduce costs<br />
– Improve the product<br />
– As well as suggestions for special and important characteristics within the framework of the<br />
supplier’s design/process FMEA<br />
HUHN carefully examines these suggestions and corrects the affected specifications accordingly if<br />
necessary, in accordance with customer requirements if applicable.<br />
� Feasibility studies<br />
� Design tests (engineering tests, design certification)<br />
� Design FMEA<br />
� Process planning<br />
� Process FMEA<br />
� Process capability analyses and substantiations<br />
� Process validations (qualifications)<br />
� QM plan (inspection plan): As a rule, a plan must be prepared and submitted for the following 3 phases:<br />
– Prototypes<br />
– Pre-production series<br />
– Series production<br />
� Test equipment planning<br />
� Production equipment planning<br />
� Packaging suggestions<br />
<strong>Co</strong>mpleted records subsequently become an integral part of first article inspection documentation. Records<br />
must always be kept in German, although another language or a translation may be agreed upon within the<br />
framework of the respective project.<br />
When the project is launched, the product/project timetable must be coordinated with HUHN. The supplier<br />
HHR 001, revision level 12/10 <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> Page 6 of 13
must inform HUHN on a regular basis regarding developmental progress (status report). Reviews are<br />
conducted with the supplier at agreed upon intervals.<br />
The project manager (APQP champion) must be appointed by the supplier, and agreed upon separately in a<br />
product-specific fashion if applicable.<br />
4.2 Standard Products<br />
Standard products are parts, materials and processes, which a supplier develops, produces and documents<br />
independently for the market.<br />
HUHN must be informed regarding the results of product development, as well as the product genesis<br />
process. This must take place within the framework of the first article submission process<br />
The supplier must confirm compliance of his product with HUHN’s delivery specification. Deviations must be<br />
approved by HUHN.<br />
If standard products are selected (e.g. limitation of parameters), they must be confirmed by the supplier and a<br />
part number (article number) must be generated. The process capability of the limited characteristics must be<br />
substantiated to HUHN.<br />
5 Production Process and Product Approvals<br />
5.1 First Article Samples<br />
5.1.1 HUHN-Specific <strong>Co</strong>mponents<br />
The supplier must submit a first article sample punctually before approval for series production is issued. The<br />
first article sample and first article inspection reports are an integral part of orders placed by HUHN.<br />
Unless otherwise specified, submission of the first article inspection report must be made in accordance with<br />
respectively valid stipulations per QS-9000-PPAP (production part approval process), level 3, or VDA volume<br />
2 (PPF).<br />
All of the technical requirements included in the delivery specification / drawing must be documented to an<br />
appropriate extent by the supplier in this report.<br />
The first article inspection report includes (depending upon product):<br />
� A completely filled in and signed cover sheet<br />
� A copy of the signed, current HUHN drawings or customer drawings with numbering for all features<br />
included in the delivery specification and, if applicable, the performance specification, in a logical order<br />
� Other specifications and delivery specifications<br />
� Measurement report with all target and actual dimensions<br />
� Material report with all pertinent setpoint and actual values, not older than 1 year<br />
� Function report (qualification results, final measurement reports for electrical parameters)<br />
� Process sequence plan with specification of manufacturing location(s)<br />
� Substantiation regarding manufacturing reliability (process capability, machine capability)<br />
� QM plan / inspection plan<br />
� Materials included in the product<br />
These materials must be declared within the framework of the first article submission process by means<br />
of the IMDS (International Material Data System) (see also http:/www.mdsystem.com).<br />
� Substantiations regarding hazardous materials (CE safety data sheet)<br />
� Deviation approval for non-complying characteristics (must be obtained in advance from HUHN)<br />
If no agreement to the contrary exists, 300 parts must be produced for statistical evaluation of measuring and<br />
test results, of which 25 are actually used. In the case of multi-cavity moulds or several identical tools which<br />
HHR 001, revision level 12/10 <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> Page 7 of 13
are used for the same operation, 100 parts per cavity or tool are required. Reference gauges are to be agreed<br />
upon separately.<br />
The agreed upon first article samples must be shipped to HUHN’s order address along with all required<br />
records in a separate package identified with a coloured label bearing the words “first article samples”.<br />
Shipment of first article samples with incomplete documentation must be approved in advance in writing by<br />
HUHN.<br />
5.1.2 Standard Products<br />
The supplier must submit a first article sample punctually before approval for series production is issued.<br />
After the supplier has submitted parts during the developmental stage, he must initiate component approval<br />
without delay.<br />
The scope of the first article inspection report generally corresponds to the requirements for HUHN-specific<br />
parts, although product-specific simplifications are possible, for example if approvals from our customer have<br />
already been received by the supplier. However, these must be authorised by HUHN prior to first article<br />
submission.<br />
5.2 Approval<br />
HUHN examines the first article inspection report for completeness and compliance with the specified<br />
requirements.<br />
Individual characteristics are double-checked if deemed necessary.<br />
Incomplete test reports, and test reports which exhibit non-approved deviations, are not processed and are<br />
returned to the supplier. This is taken into consideration in the supplier evaluation. If first article submission<br />
has to be repeated through the fault of the supplier, the supplier may be invoiced for processing costs.<br />
HUHN expects first article samples to fulfil all requirements.<br />
If deviations which cannot be corrected on short notice should nevertheless become apparent during the<br />
course of first article production, a written request for limited deviation approval, or a drawing or specification<br />
change, must be submitted prior to first article submission.<br />
The chances of receiving approval must be clarified by the supplier in advance.<br />
Implemented corrections must be approved by resubmitting a new first article inspection report. Agreed upon<br />
correction deadlines must be adhered to.<br />
<strong>Co</strong>mponent approval is issued by affixing the required signature to the included PSW or VDA cover sheet.<br />
Approved deviations are recorded. The signed cover sheet is returned to the supplier.<br />
The supplier is not authorised to ship series produced parts to HUHN without this approval.<br />
6 Re-Qualification<br />
In order to assure continued quality, the supplier must re-qualify the product/process once a year.<br />
The scope of the re-qualification process must be coordinated with HUHN.<br />
Re-qualification results must be submitted to HUHN of the supplier’s own accord.<br />
If no shipments are received from the supplier for more than a year, the original approval issued by HUHN<br />
expires.<br />
The part must be re-qualified in this case. The supplier must submit a request for re-approval by means of first<br />
article submission (see above).<br />
HHR 001, revision level 12/10 <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> Page 8 of 13
7 Required Duration of Records Retention<br />
The supplier is required to retain all records which substantiate compliance of the components with the<br />
specified characteristics – with respect to specification, manufacturing or testing – for at least 15 years after<br />
delivering the last shipment. This applies to approvals received from HUHN as well.<br />
In the event that HUHN’s customers specify a longer duration for records retention (e.g. ≥20 years), the<br />
supplier is required to adhere to these requirements as well. The requirement for extended records retention is<br />
specified in the <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong>, part 2, if applicable.<br />
Refer to VDA volume 1 for details.<br />
HUHN reserves the right to review such records at the supplier’s facility by previous appointment.<br />
Upon request, records must be received by HUHN within 48 hours.<br />
8 Machines and Process Capabilities<br />
All products must be manufactured by means of capable, controlled processes. This must be assured by<br />
means of careful process planning for the product. If no agreement to the contrary exists, for example as<br />
defined in the specifications, the following values apply to all parameters/dimensions:<br />
Short-term process capability: Cmk ≥ 1.67<br />
Preliminary process capability: Ppk ≥ 1.67<br />
Long-term process capability: Cpk ≥ 1.33<br />
These capability values must be agreed upon with HUHN and substantiated for selected<br />
parameters/dimensions within the framework of first article submission.<br />
<strong>Co</strong>rrective measures or other suitable action (e.g. 100% final inspection) must be implemented by the supplier<br />
and approved by HUHN for parameters/dimensions which are below the required capability values, in order to<br />
be able to guarantee that parts meet all specified quality requirements.<br />
9 Traceability<br />
In the event of complaints, the supplier must assure that parts can be traced all the way back to his own subsuppliers<br />
by means of a comprehensive tracing system.<br />
Upon request from HUHN, the supplier must be capable of providing HUHN with the desired information within<br />
a period of 48 hours. The time period may be even shorter in exceptional cases.<br />
10 Environment and Utilised Materials<br />
No hazardous or poisonous materials may be used for the products/processes (composition and<br />
manufacturing) (see VDA list for materials which are subject to mandatory declaration!). Materials which are<br />
subject to mandatory declaration in accordance with this list must be identified in consultation with HUHN.<br />
Further declaration requirements according to HUHN – specifications/drawings and standards are not affected<br />
by such.<br />
All utilised materials must comply with applicable German and European legal requirements (ChemG,<br />
GefStoffV etc.). Details are described in the individual HUHN specifications/drawings and standards.<br />
Only reusable or recyclable materials may be used for packaging, and their composition must comply with<br />
applicable legal requirements.<br />
Packaging for hazardous materials which are contaminated with dangerous residues after use must be taken<br />
back by the supplier, unless an agreement to the contrary has been entered into with HUHN.<br />
Precise instructions for reuse, recycling or disposal must be provided with all materials furnished by the<br />
supplier.<br />
HHR 001, revision level 12/10 <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> Page 9 of 13
Details are established in consultation with HUHN.<br />
The supplier must confirm adherence to this specification as part of the first article submission process.<br />
11 Changes<br />
HUHN must be notified punctually in writing by means of a change request in the event of changes involving:<br />
� Product design and layout<br />
� Manufacturing process<br />
� Utilised materials<br />
� Production location<br />
� Changing sub-suppliers<br />
Changes may not be implemented without written approval from HUHN.<br />
After approval has been issued, changes must be qualified by the supplier. The FMEA, the QM plan<br />
(inspection plan), the part life-cycle etc. must be correspondingly adapted.<br />
First article submission must be completed before parts can be used. The scope of the first article submission<br />
process must be coordinated with HUHN.<br />
Notification indicating positive results of the first article submission process constitutes approval of the<br />
change, and completes the change process.<br />
The first shipment of changed parts must be announced in writing. The shipping documents and the<br />
packaging must clearly indicate initial shipment of changed parts.<br />
12 Shipments<br />
All shipments must be made in accordance with applicable agreements and order releases.<br />
Goods must be identified in a machine-readable fashion, such that traceability is assured.<br />
Products with manufacturing dates which go back more than 12 months may not be shipped to HUHN. If<br />
shipment of such products becomes necessary, the supplier must obtain special approval from HUHN. This<br />
approval must be issued by HUHN in writing. The goods must be separately identified.<br />
Other details shall be established as necessary in the event of approval.<br />
Specially approved materials may not be mixed with other materials/shipments. They must always be shipped<br />
unmixed, in separate containers and with appropriate identification. Any incurred costs may be invoiced to the<br />
supplier.<br />
13 Defective Parts<br />
13.1 At the <strong>Supplier</strong>’s Facility<br />
Parts which are identified as defective by the supplier, or which presumably do not fulfil the specified<br />
requirements, must be identified immediately and stored such that further processing and shipment to HUHN<br />
is precluded. Delivery of defective parts to HUHN must be prevented.<br />
Measures must be immediately implemented by the supplier in order to inspect previously manufactured parts<br />
and/or lots.<br />
The cause of the defect must be analysed, and must be eliminated by means of suitable process<br />
improvements (e.g. 8D processes).<br />
HHR 001, revision level 12/10 <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> Page 10 of 13
Even if the parts can be rendered usable (fully compliant) by means of rework, rework may only be<br />
commenced after consultation with HUHN. The type of rework to be utilised must be proposed in writing by<br />
the supplier, and approved in writing by HUHN if deemed appropriate. Shipments of rework parts must be<br />
specially identified.<br />
If defective parts have already been shipped to HUHN, HUHN must be notified immediately.<br />
Further measures (e.g. additional tests conducted by HUHN and associated costs) shall be agreed upon<br />
mutually.<br />
13.2 At HUHN’s Facility<br />
If HUHN discovers defective parts in its production line, the supplier shall be notified immediately.<br />
HUHN shall make arrangements with the supplier to return defective parts.<br />
The supplier must analyse all parts returned by HUHN and submit results to HUHN in the form of an 8D<br />
report.<br />
Immediate measures for on-hand inventories and parts allocated to specific orders must be communicated to<br />
HUHN within 24 hours.<br />
If no special agreement to the contrary has been entered into, analysis results must be submitted to HUHN<br />
within 14 workdays.<br />
If processing has not been completed by this deadline, the supplier is required to inform HUHN in writing<br />
regarding the results of ongoing examinations on a regular basis (once a week).<br />
8D processes are not deemed complete until approval has been issued by HUHN.<br />
Implemented corrective measures must be documented.<br />
If the defective parts cannot be returned (e.g. due to an impending production stoppage at HUHN or one of<br />
HUHN’s customers), the parts must be sorted by the supplier at HUHN’s facility. If this is not possible (e.g.<br />
night shift), HUHN shall sort, and if necessary rework the defective parts, at the expense of the supplier after<br />
consulting with the supplier.<br />
13.3 At the Facility of one of HUHN’s Customers<br />
If, during the course of processing a customer complaint, HUHN determines that the problem in question has<br />
been caused by a supplier, the supplier shall be notified immediately.<br />
HUHN shall return all defective parts to the supplier, is as far as no agreement to the contrary has been<br />
entered into.<br />
The supplier must immediately analyse all parts returned by HUHN and submit results to HUHN in the form of<br />
an 8D report. An initial statement must be issued within 24 hours of receipt of the defective parts, and must<br />
above all include preliminary remedial measures (containment action). Processing time allowed until issuance<br />
of the final report shall be specified as a deadline in the complaint. If no special agreement to the contrary has<br />
been entered into, analysis results must be submitted to HUHN within 14 workdays. If processing cannot been<br />
completed by this deadline, the supplier must inform HUHN in writing regarding the results of ongoing<br />
examinations on a regular basis (once a week).<br />
Goal: <strong>Co</strong>mplete the entire process within one month.<br />
8D processes are not deemed complete until approval has been issued by HUHN.<br />
Implemented corrective measures must be documented. HUHN shall examine implemented corrective<br />
measures on-site.<br />
In exceptional cases, this duration may be significantly reduced (e.g. 3 days).<br />
HHR 001, revision level 12/10 <strong>Supplier</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Guidelines</strong> Page 11 of 13
14 Ongoing Measures During Series Production<br />
The supplier bears full responsibility for the quality of his products.<br />
Amongst other measures, this must be assured by the supplier by means of:<br />
� Process capability analyses<br />
� Process control measures<br />
� Employee training<br />
� Internal audits<br />
15 Mandatory Insurance<br />
The supplier is required to procure insurance coverage for product liability, recall actions and guarantee claims, and<br />
must uninterruptedly maintain such insurance coverage during the entire term of this agreement, and provide<br />
HUHN with substantiation of such insurance coverage at any time upon request.<br />
HUHN shall be granted access to production areas at any time if it becomes necessary in dealing with problems.<br />
Insured sums are based upon the supplier’s risk analysis for his products and processes.<br />
16 Secrecy<br />
Both parties to this agreement undertake to maintain secrecy regarding all information received from the other<br />
party, and to use it exclusively in the interest of the contractual relationship which exists between the parties to this<br />
agreement.<br />
17 Use of Sub-<strong>Supplier</strong>s<br />
If applicable, the supplier shall bind his sub-suppliers to all requirements specified by HUHN.<br />
HUHN reserves the right to visit such sub-suppliers, in order to gather information regarding their stages of<br />
development, manufacturing processes etc.<br />
This may also involve auditing sub-suppliers in cooperation with, and in the presence of the supplier.<br />
18 Additional Freight Charges<br />
Additional freight charges paid by the supplier must be recorded by the supplier and made available to HUHN for<br />
review upon request.<br />
19 Term of Validity<br />
These supplier quality guidelines are valid indefinitely. They can be terminated by giving three months written<br />
notice.<br />
20 Terms and <strong>Co</strong>nditions of Purchase<br />
HUHN’s current terms and conditions of purchase are an integral part of all purchase orders.<br />
Our current terms and conditions of purchase are available on www.heinrich-huhn.de.<br />
