Testing, Inspection, Calibration & Certification
Independent verification at every stage — incoming parts, in-process boards, finished systems, and the compliance evidence to put the product on the market.
Independent quality
Find it in the factory, not in the field
A field failure costs an order of magnitude more than the same defect caught at the line. Our inspection and test scope is set from the risk in your specific product — not from a generic checklist applied to everything.
We can run test as part of a build we manage, or purely as an independent service on product manufactured elsewhere, including pre-shipment inspection at a third-party factory before you release payment.

Capabilities
Test and inspection capability
Applied selectively, based on what can actually go wrong with your product.
Inspection
Solder paste inspection, automated optical inspection, X-ray for BGA voiding and hidden joints, and visual audit to IPC-A-610.
Electrical test
In-circuit test, flying probe, boundary scan and custom functional fixtures with pass/fail data logging per serial number.
Environmental
Thermal cycling, damp heat, salt spray, vibration, drop and IP ingress verification against the relevant standard.
Calibration
Instrument and fixture calibration traceable to national standards, with certificates and recall scheduling.
Certification support
Test-house liaison, documentation packs and corrective action for CE, UKCA, FCC, UL, RoHS and REACH.
Pre-shipment inspection
On-site AQL sampling and container-loading checks at the factory, with a photo-documented report before payment is released.

| Parameter | Range |
|---|---|
| Inspection standards | IPC-A-610, IPC/WHMA-A-620, IPC-A-600, J-STD-001 |
| X-ray | 2D and 2.5D, BGA void measurement and joint verification |
| Electrical test | ICT, flying probe, boundary scan (JTAG), functional test |
| Sampling | ISO 2859-1 / ANSI Z1.4 AQL plans, or 100% screening |
| Thermal | −40 °C to +125 °C cycling and steady-state burn-in |
| Compliance | CE, UKCA, FCC, UL, RoHS, REACH, ISO 13485 documentation support |
| Calibration | Traceable to NIST or NABL, with certificates issued |
| Reporting | Photo-documented reports within 24 hours of inspection |
How it runs
From enquiry to delivered product
Define the risk
We work through failure modes with you — what fails, how often, and what it costs when it reaches a customer.
Build the test plan
Coverage, sample sizes, acceptance limits and escalation rules, agreed and documented before anything is tested.
Fixture and setup
Test fixtures designed and correlated; instruments calibrated and recorded.
Execute
Inspection and test run to the plan, with results captured per unit rather than per batch.
Report and act
Findings reported with images and data. Non-conformances raised with root cause and corrective action.
Certify and close
Compliance packs assembled and submitted, with re-test managed through to sign-off.
