What information should our RFQ for wireless chargers include?

Main answer · Wecent Editorial Team

Short answer: Include: target devices and output per position; the wireless standard and any certification wanted (for example Qi2 certification, or no certification claim); whether an adapter is included and its wattage; target markets and required certifications; colour, logo and packaging; quantity and forecast; sample and delivery dates; and how quotes should be broken down. Ask suppliers to state anything they can’t meet.

Product requirements

• Devices: e.g. iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods; any Android models.
• Output per position: what output on phone, watch and earbuds; whether “up to” figures are acceptable.
• Standard and certification: Qi BPP/EPP, Qi2 (certified or “Qi2 Ready”), or magnetic alignment without certification claims. Certification affects cost and lead time.
• Form factor: stand, pad, foldable; materials and finish.
• Input: USB-C input requirement, and whether a PD adapter is included and its wattage.

Markets and compliance

• Target markets (EU, UK, US, AU, others).
• Required documents: RED with relevant standards for EU, FCC for US, plus safety, RoHS and REACH documentation.
• Labelling and manual languages.

Branding and packaging

• Logo method and position, colours.
• Retail box, gift box or bulk; insert cards; barcodes.

Commercial details

• Order quantity and annual forecast. Wecent’s product pages state an MOQ of 200 pieces; confirm per model.
• Sample needs and timing; Wecent’s product pages state samples in 2–3 days and mass production in 7–15 days after sample sign-off.
• Incoterms and destination.
• Warranty expectation; Wecent states 2 years.

Testing and samples

State how you’ll evaluate samples: which devices you’ll test, what output you expect at each position, and any temperature or alignment checks. Suppliers can then flag in advance where results might fall short, instead of after sampling.

Ask for a structured quote

Request prices broken down into unit price, adapter, packaging, logo, certification and tooling costs, plus validity period and payment terms. That makes quotes comparable.

Who decides

Name a single contact for technical questions and one for commercial ones, so suppliers know whom to ask and answers stay consistent.

Ask what they can’t meet

Ask suppliers to list any requirement they can’t meet or that changes cost significantly. That surfaces problems before you choose a supplier.

Attach references

Include photos or model numbers of products you like and any existing specification. References remove ambiguity faster than text.

Where this answer says confirm with Wecent, the detail is not published on the product page and has to come from the datasheet or the factory. General facts come from the standards bodies, regulators or device makers named in the text.
