Quick answer
A proper quotation lists three parts separately: the official BPJPH fee collected on the authority's behalf; the LHLN review fee for document and formula review, the on-site audit and follow-up, with rounds and person-days stated; and audit travel at cost or packaged. One merged total removes the baseline for checking add-ons. Every amount is subject to a formal written assessment, and the multi-SKU billing basis should be stated at quote stage.
Detailed explanation
What each part covers
The key to reading a quote is making every sum trace to a concrete action:
- Official fee: the government charge paid to BPJPH, collected on its behalf, with payment evidence.
- Review fee: the professional price of document and formula review, the factory audit and corrective follow-up by the LHLN.
- Travel: auditors' transport and accommodation, at cost or packaged, stating headcount and rounds.
Typical bundling tricks
Official and service fees merged into one 'certification fee' that hides the pass-through nature; travel written as 'refunded or supplemented' with no standard; a low headline price followed by translation, correction and re-review surcharges.
Checks to perform
- Require three separate lines, with currency, tax treatment and validity period.
- State the assumed formula count, site count and audit person-days.
- Agree unit prices or pricing rules for out-of-scope items in advance.
- Include what happens after expiry and how official-fee adjustments are handled.
