// QUALITY //

What we check, and what ships with the box.

IPC-A-610 Class 2 is the acceptance reference. We are not a certified shop, so the proof is the record that travels with your boards.

// 01 — THE STANDARD //

IPC-A-610 Class 2, used as the acceptance reference.

Class 2 is the general-industrial acceptance class: continuous electrical performance required, cosmetic imperfections allowed where they do not affect function. It is the right reference for prototypes, small batches and most commercial hardware.

We work to those criteria on every build. Where your product needs Class 3, tell us at quote time — some designs are not built for it, and we would rather say so before the stencil is cut.

No certificates on this page. We do not hold ISO 9001, ISO 13485, IATF 16949 or an IPC certification, so we do not display logos for them. If a buyer requires a certified supplier, we are the wrong shop and we will say so.

// 02 — ON THE FLOOR //

Six checkpoints between your files and your box.

These are the points where a build goes wrong. They are checked in this order, every time.

Incoming partsChecked against the BOM when they arrive: part number, quantity, packaging. Mismatches are raised before the line starts.
Stencil and paste printThe first prints are checked for coverage and alignment before the run continues.
First articleOn a new build, the first board is checked against your files, and photographed on request.
In-process visualPlacement, polarity and solder joints checked during the run, not only at the end.
Final inspectionMagnification check of the finished lot, plus electrical test where your design calls for it.
PackingESD packing, quantity count, and a packing list that matches what is in the box.

// 03 — RECORDS //

Paper you can keep.

Every order leaves with the record of how it was checked — not a certificate on a wall, the file for your build.

First-article report

On new builds: what was checked on the reference board, and the result. Repeat builds with unchanged files do not repeat it.

With every order: the checkpoints that were run on the lot, and who signed them off.

Photos on request

Boards, packing and labels photographed if you need to see it before it flies. Ask at quote time so it is planned in.

// 04 — WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG //

Reworked before it ships, not defended after.

If a board fails inspection, the first question is whether the fault is in the build or in the design. Both answers are useful to you: a build fault is reworked at our cost before shipment, and you are told what it was.

If the fault is in the design — footprint, polarity, a part that cannot be placed — we tell you with a photo and a proposed fix, and wait for your word before changing anything.
