Resources to manufacture quality state-of-the-art COTS and custom products

Components and PCB are provisioned from approved manufacturers according to bill of materials.

Boards are assembled and manufactured according to a qualified and well-established process, compliant with IPC-A-610 Class 3 Standard.

Boards are controlled further to each manufacturing process step.

Each board is functionally tested according to a qualified and proven test process.

Further to the coating process and mechanical part set-up, each board undergoes environmental screening test complying with the board grade specification (on request).

Certification

Interface Concept is certified to the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
