DOCUMENTATION: This document shall be referenced in the contract & the purchasing
agreement document.
AFFIRMING TO THE EPC: Upon request, all part and/or material suppliers must review this
specification & sign the conformance form in Attachment C (EPC conformance form). The
signed form must be returned to either the Intel Commodity Manager or submitted directly
through the supplier portal (see reference section for link). In order for a supplier to use the
portal, they must first register (see registration link in reference section). If assistance is
required, please use the support application in the supplier portal.
