Every Batch Verified. Every Shipment Trusted.

Inspection process

Five steps, in order.

  1. Step 01

    Incoming inspection

    Every incoming lot is checked against the purchase order and inspected by our QC team for remarking, surface sanding, oxidation, lead condition and packaging integrity.

    SamplingSampling plan agreed per order
    ChecksPart number, date code, quantity, packaging
    RecordInspection results recorded per shipment

  2. Step 02

    Testing

    Where electrical test, X-ray or decapsulation is required, samples go to a third-party laboratory. The report is issued by the laboratory and passed to you unchanged. Testing scope is agreed with you before the order.

  3. Step 03

    Visual inspection

    Parts are examined under stereo microscopes. Where remarking is suspected, the package surface is tested with acetone.

    ESD-safe packing

    Parts are packed to protect them from static discharge and moisture on the way to your line. Moisture-sensitive parts are kept in dry pack with desiccant and a humidity indicator card.

    Labelling & traceability

    We record the sourcing channel and supply route for each order, so material can be traced back after delivery. In-stock Hong Kong items ship the same working day.

    RecordedChannel and supply route, per order
    DocumentsCoC on request; lab report when testing is ordered
Independent laboratories

The report comes from them.

White Horse LaboratoriesIndependent third-party laboratory — electrical testing, X-ray and decapsulation on request. Reports are passed to you unaltered.
Able LaboratoryIndependent third-party laboratory — electrical testing of sampled parts against datasheet limits (for example capacitance and DC resistance), X-ray and decapsulation. Reports are passed to you unaltered.
