Standards We Work To
Open-market sourcing only holds up if what arrives can be verified. This page describes how we check material and what records travel with a shipment.
Inspection Workflow
Documentation Review
Source records, lot and date code information are checked against the purchase requirement before material is accepted.
External and Packaging Check
Packaging condition, moisture barrier integrity, labelling and reel condition are recorded on receipt.
Visual Inspection
Marking, surface condition, lead and pad condition, and dimensional conformity are inspected and photographed.
Escalation Where Warranted
Where the part, value, or application justifies it, third-party testing is arranged rather than stretching what we can confirm in-house.
Record Handover
The inspection record travels with the shipment, so it exists before it is ever needed rather than being reconstructed afterwards.
Source Records
Where material came from, when it was manufactured, and how it was handled — kept per lot rather than per order.
ESD & Moisture Control
Moisture-sensitive devices are handled to their MSL rating, with dry pack and bake procedures applied where required.
Source Screening
Supplier vetting comes before inspection. The cheapest way to avoid a counterfeit part is not to buy it in the first place.
