Foreign Material Limitations Clause Samples

The Foreign Material Limitations clause sets specific restrictions on the presence and allowable levels of foreign materials—such as contaminants, debris, or unintended substances—in goods or products supplied under a contract. Typically, this clause outlines acceptable thresholds for such materials, details inspection procedures, and may specify corrective actions if limits are exceeded. Its core function is to ensure product quality and safety by minimizing contamination risks, thereby protecting both parties from disputes related to product integrity.
