INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION

International is committed to providing Contract Manufacturing services that result in products of high quality levels, at the lowest possible costs, and delivered within specified time schedules. More than 20 years of experience and thorough understanding of product manufacturing processes has evolved into a rigorous program we refer to as International Certification.

Various organizations such as ISO and QS exist around the world to help ensure the repeatability and documentation of manufacturing processes. Our manufacturers use processes in accordance with ISO Certification standards.

Other standards such as ANSI, EPA, and SAE (see Links) establish minimum quality, dimensional, and performance criteria. International Certification provides the assurance that products meet or exceed these standards. The tangible benefits of an over-all quality assurance standard will be evident in product quality, reliability, warranty, and end-user satisfaction.

International’s certification process begins as a joint effort involving our customers, design & production engineers, regulatory agencies, primary and secondary factories, and other team members as needed. A complete understanding of the overall project is important in developing a comprehensive certification process and quality assurance program.

International Certification has been developed to give your company a comprehensive and reliable resource for components you are proud to put your name on.
