OEM here refers to manufacturing to customer-specific product requirements, contrasted with selecting an existing ODM design. Usage varies by sector; HKTDC's sourcing guidance treats OEM as product development involving distinct specifications and technical documentation.[1]
Specify control of design, tooling and changes rather than merely writing OEM on a quotation. Establish the tests required for the actual product too. A custom design creates additional decisions and responsibilities, not automatic certification or exclusivity.
