Private Label SPD Order Checklist
For OEM surge protective devices, the best way to avoid mistakes is to approve the order in layers. Do not approve the logo first and check the electrical parameters later. The product must be correct before the branding is printed.
| Checklist Item | What to Confirm | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Product range | AC SPD, DC SPD, PV SPD, signal SPD, Type 1, Type 2, or Type 1+2. | Different markets and applications need different SPD families. |
| Electrical ratings | Uc, In, Imax, Iimp, Up, poles, wiring system, and short-circuit protection requirement. | The label must match the real product and datasheet. |
| Logo position | Front housing logo, side label logo, carton logo, manual logo, or neutral branding. | Different logo positions affect cost, MOQ, and approval time. |
| Product label marking | Model, voltage, SPD type, surge current, standard, wiring mark, terminal mark, and certification marks. | Incorrect marking can create compliance and sales problems. |
| Packaging | Neutral box, branded color box, carton label, barcode, language, and market-specific information. | Packaging affects distributor acceptance and retail presentation. |
| User manual | Installation diagram, safety warning, replacement instruction, language, and brand information. | Buyers may need manuals for customs, tenders, and end users. |
| Certificates | CE, TUV, CB, RoHS, test report, datasheet, declaration, and matching model number. | Documents must support the actual product reference being sold. |
| MOQ and samples | MOQ per model, sample quantity, sample fee, sample lead time, and approval process. | Private label orders should start with approved samples before bulk production. |
| Bulk order documents | PI, packing list, carton label, inspection report, certificate package, and shipping terms. | Complete documents reduce delays for importers and distributors. |
1. Confirm the SPD Model and Electrical Parameters First
Private label branding should never hide the technical selection process. An SPD is not a simple plastic shell with a logo. It is a protection component used inside electrical systems, distribution boards, PV combiner boxes, control panels, telecom systems, and industrial equipment.
Before printing your logo, confirm what system the SPD will protect and what electrical parameters the product must carry on its label.
| Parameter | What It Means for OEM Orders | Example Buyer Question |
|---|---|---|
| SPD type | Type 1, Type 2, Type 1+2, Type 3, DC SPD, PV SPD, or signal SPD. | Is this for main distribution, sub-board, PV DC side, or equipment protection? |
| Uc / Ucpv | Maximum continuous operating voltage for AC or PV DC systems. | Should the label show 275V, 320V, 385V, 440V, 600Vdc, 1000Vdc, or 1500Vdc? |
| In / Imax / Iimp | Surge discharge ratings used for product comparison and project selection. | Is the market asking for 20kA, 40kA, 60kA, or Type 1+2 performance? |
| Up | Voltage protection level shown in datasheet and label marking. | Does the protection level match the product datasheet and test documents? |
| Poles | 1P, 2P, 3P, 4P, 1P+N, 3P+N, or PV 2P / 3P configuration. | Will this fit the customer’s panel design and wiring system? |
| Standard | IEC / EN standard reference for the product category. | Is the product for low-voltage AC, PV DC, signal line, or another category? |
2. Confirm Logo and Product Label Marking
Many buyers think private label means adding a logo. For SPDs, the product label is more important than the logo. It tells installers, distributors, inspectors, and end users what the device is designed to protect.
A professional OEM SPD label should clearly show the brand, model, voltage rating, SPD classification, discharge parameters, voltage protection level, standard, terminal marking, and certification marks where applicable.
Logo options
- Logo printed on front housing
- Logo on product side label
- Logo on color box
- Logo on user manual
- Neutral label for distributors
- Private model number for your market
Label items to check
- Brand name and model number
- Uc or Ucpv voltage rating
- Type 1 / Type 2 / Type 1+2 marking
- In, Imax, Iimp, or Uoc where applicable
- Up voltage protection level
- Terminal identification and CE mark
3. Confirm Packaging, Carton Label, and User Manual
Packaging is not only a visual branding item. For distributors and importers, packaging helps identify the product, store it correctly, and deliver the right model to the right customer.
| Item | Options | What to Approve |
|---|---|---|
| Inner box | Neutral white box, branded color box, or market-specific box. | Logo, model, voltage, product photo, barcode, quantity, and language. |
| Outer carton | Standard export carton or branded carton label. | Carton size, gross weight, net weight, quantity, and shipping marks. |
| User manual | English manual, bilingual manual, or customized manual. | Wiring diagram, safety warning, installation position, replacement instruction, and brand name. |
| Barcode / SKU | Buyer SKU, EAN, UPC, or internal distributor code. | Whether each model has a unique code and correct packaging label. |
For cross-border sellers and stocking distributors, packaging consistency is especially important. A wrong carton label can cause warehouse mistakes even when the product itself is correct.
4. Check Certificate and Document Matching
For private label SPD orders, documents must match the actual product. Buyers should not only ask, “Do you have CE, TUV, or CB?” They should also check whether the model number, rated voltage, standard, SPD type, and product family are consistent with the product being ordered.
| Document | What It Supports | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate | Third-party or conformity documentation for product family. | Model series, voltage range, standard, issue body, and validity. |
| Test report | Technical test details behind the certificate. | SPD type, test class, discharge current, Up, TOV, and thermal behavior. |
| Datasheet | Sales and technical specification for distributors. | Brand, model, Uc, In, Imax, Iimp, Up, poles, dimensions, and wiring. |
| Declaration | Compliance declaration used for sales and import documents. | Company name, product reference, standard, and responsible party. |
| Manual | Installation and use information for the market. | Language, wiring diagram, safety notes, replacement instruction, and contact details. |
5. Approve Samples Before Bulk Production
A private label SPD sample is not only for checking whether the logo looks good. It should be used to confirm the complete sales-ready product.
| Approval Step | Buyer Should Check | Supplier Should Provide |
|---|---|---|
| Product model | Application, voltage, poles, SPD type, and expected market. | Recommended model, datasheet, and price range. |
| Artwork | Logo file, brand color, label text, box design, and manual cover. | Label proof, packaging proof, and artwork confirmation. |
| Sample | Product appearance, label clarity, packaging, manual, and accessories. | Physical sample or clear sample photos before shipment. |
| Bulk order | Quantity, MOQ, delivery time, inspection method, and shipping terms. | PI, production schedule, QC plan, and document package. |
| Shipment | Carton label, packing list, certificate files, and final product photos. | Pre-shipment photos, inspection report if needed, and export documents. |
