To systematically identify and reject counterfeit products, Smartel Electronics has developed a thorough in-house inspection and verification process for all materials received in our warehouse.
Level 1 Inspection
For every component received, our Level 1 inspection process includes the following:
- Manufacturer packaging and label inspection
- Barcode verification
- Manufacturer datasheet, drawings, and specification validation
- Digital imagery of components
- Component surface testing
- Marking permanency testing
Any product which does not pass the Level 1 inspection or is deemed to be suspect is immediately flagged as non-conforming material and placed in quarantine.
These results are then reviewed by management to categorize, quantify, and analyze non-conformances, detect trends, and identify the need for corrective and preventative measures.
Level 2 Inspection.
To further demonstrate our commitment to quality and product integrity, we have aligned ourselves with some professional testing organizations.
These third-party testing facilities certify components based on MIL and IDEA standards.
