Manufacturing Process And Quality Control
Incoming inspection
Raw materials are tested for physical and chemical performance and supplier quality is recorded before anything reaches the line.

Control boards are populated on our SMT line and through-hole parts are wave soldered in house.
PCBA testing
100 percent PCBA testing before the board goes into an assembly.
Assembly
Assembly on dust-free automatic lines with a QC station at every process step.
Aging test
100 percent aging testing on finished assemblies before packing.
Packing and warehouse QA
Automatic packing, then a warehouse inspection of the packed goods before delivery.
Quality Control
- IQC - Incoming Quality Control: Tests the physical and chemical performance of every raw material and records supplier quality. Materials that meet the standard go to the warehouse; those that do not are rejected.
- IPQC - In-Process Quality Control: QC stations are set up at every process step on the line so that a defect is caught at the station that created it rather than at final assembly.
- FQC - Final Quality Control: Finished goods are inspected to the AQL standard, or 100% inspected when the programme calls for it.
- QA - Quality Assurance: Wear, tear and misuse testing, plus a warehouse inspection of the packed goods before delivery.
Certifications
Manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system. Product-level certification is arranged per programme and per destination market - tell us the markets and we will confirm what is held and what needs to be applied for.
