A screen image is useful for shortlisting a finish, but it is a weak production reference. The coloured integrated sink range and B61 model page show available imagery; a physical approved sample is still needed when colour and gloss matter to a purchase order.
Approve what will be compared later
Identify the exact ceramic model and a physical finish sample. Record whether the approved appearance is black, another catalogue colour or a requested custom glaze. Photograph the sample under agreed viewing conditions for the project record, but keep the physical piece as the primary comparison. If gloss level or surface character is important, describe it in the approval rather than relying on a colour name alone.
Separate finish from shape
Check the sample on the selected basin form where possible. Curves, recesses and broad flat areas can make a finish look different under the same light. Confirm whether the approval covers only colour or also the finished model, hole arrangement and any branding. Ask the supplier how variation will be judged against the approved reference; do not assume a numerical tolerance that has not been agreed.
Carry the reference into the order
Use one finish code or sample identifier in the drawing, purchase order and packing instructions. Ask who retains the control sample and how a later batch will be compared. If the requested finish changes after sample approval, issue a new written version rather than editing an old email thread.
Images illustrate existing CADIA finish imagery. Availability, custom matching and acceptance criteria require supplier confirmation for the order.
