Records & full traceability

ISO-certified production

Since 1992 our designs have been built by production partners in Asia. Today those are two ISO-certified partners, with whom we have worked since 2011 and 2020. We work closely with both and follow up every order from our base in the Netherlands, so you have one point of contact throughout. Production across two locations spreads risk and gives reliable capacity for volume manufacturing.

Production capabilities

Both production sites cover the full build. Final assembly, hi-pot testing, burn-in and final testing are all carried out on-site.

  • Metal fabrication
  • Inductive component assembly
  • Wiring assemblies
  • Printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing and assembly
  • Surface-mounted device (SMD) placement, automatic and manual

Production travel cards and final-test data are retained for at least five years, and every power supply's material sources are fully traceable.

Quality management & certifications

Both production partners maintain certified management systems as the foundation of every build:

  • ISO 9001: quality management, for consistent products and continuous improvement.
  • ISO 14001: environmental management, to limit environmental impact.
  • RoHS: restriction of hazardous substances.

Certification is a continuing process here: our partners maintain and renew these to the standards in force, as those standards develop.

Across our production network

Beyond that shared core, our wider production network holds further certifications, applied where the work calls for them:

  • ISO 13485: quality management for medical devices.
  • ISO 45001: occupational health and safety.
  • ISO 50001: energy management.
  • IATF 16949: quality management for automotive.
  • ISO 27001: information security management.
  • ISO 27701: privacy information management.

Our production partners also comply with local labour law, including human rights and workers' rights.

Compliance & traceability

Our products are designed and manufactured in compliance with the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and amending Directive (EU) 2015/863. Both sites undergo UL inspections every quarter, confirming compliance with Underwriters Laboratories safety standards.

Quality assurance runs end to end:

  • Customer and manufacturer sign-off on every design change, via a formal Engineering Change Proposal.
  • Incoming parts inspected and accepted to AQL criteria (MIL-STD-105D).
  • In-process quality control during production.
  • Final testing, hi-pot testing and burn-in on every unit.
  • Full traceability of processes and components, retained for at least five years.
