CERTIFICATIONS & APPROVALS

We generally prefer to place manufacturing in facilities that have some type of international quality certification. While any of these certification is not the silver bullet when it comes to quality, these certificates establish that the facility has basic controls in-place for maintaining quality through their operations and processes. However, we have some facilities that are self-certified, and have been audited/approved by SANDMARK Sourcing Managers, and their quality is just as good or even better than those with certifications. SANDMARK takes a pragmatic approach to certifications, which we believe is a win-win strategy both for our customers and suppliers.

Traceability is a powerful tool in managing quality. Especially with regards to dimensionally critical components, or those involving challenging processes such as large castings, traceability allows us to monitor quality by production batches and lots. If your product will benefit from implementation of traceability, SANDMARK will discuss this with you during the analysis phase.

PRODUCT CERTIFICATIONS & STANDARDS

Product certifications and standards are important to maintaining a high level of quality. Many of the electrical/electronic components and assemblies manufactured in our factories carry marks of UL, CE and RoHS. Whether it is shepherding your new products through UL or CE testing and certification, or complying our factories with UL requirements via visits by UL inspectors, SANDMARK handles these tasks seamlessly and with little to no effort on your part.
