Southeast Asia Export Specs for Transformer Aluminum Strip
Transformer Aluminum Strip Export Standards to Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is a growing market for transformer materials, especially aluminum strips used in dry-type and oil-immersed coils. Exporters must ensure compliance with regional standards and buyer expectations. Here's a breakdown of the essential requirements for successful exports to countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Material Grades
The most commonly accepted alloys in Southeast Asia include 1060, 1070, and 1350 aluminum strips. These grades offer high conductivity and are suitable for transformer winding applications.
Conductivity and Purity
Buyers typically require conductivity of at least 61% IACS and aluminum purity of over 99.6%. Certification of composition via a mill test certificate (MTC) is essential.
Dimensional Tolerance
Width tolerance is usually ≤ ±0.2 mm, and thickness deviation should be controlled within ±3% depending on the product. Burr-free edges and flat winding surfaces are expected.
Packaging and Shipping
Aluminum strips should be packed with moisture-proof film, edge protectors, and wooden pallets. Export packaging must comply with ISPM 15 fumigation standards and be suitable for humid tropical climates.
Certifications and Compliance
- ISO 9001 (Quality Management)
- SGS / BV / TUV Inspection Reports
- RoHS compliance for electrical materials
- Customs documents: CO (Certificate of Origin), Packing List, Invoice, Bill of Lading
Language and Labeling
Ensure packaging labels, datasheets, and MSDS are provided in English, and if possible, with additional local language support (e.g., Bahasa Malaysia, Thai, Vietnamese).
Lead Time and Logistics
Fast delivery is a key advantage. Typical lead time is 7–15 days. Exporters should offer FOB, CFR, or CIF terms via Port Klang, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, Jakarta, etc.
After-Sales and Technical Support
Customers may request online installation guidance, slitting customization, and fast technical responses. Reliable communication builds long-term cooperation.
