    Satisfaction guarantee/quality assurance

    AdvancedPCB maintains a documented printed circuit board manufacturing and assembly Quality Management System designed and implemented to fulfill the requirements of our PCB customers. This system goes beyond quality levels you normally see in the PCB industry regarding regulatory and applicable national and international standards.

    Our multifaceted quality assurance program follows these steps: 

    1. Each of our production-process work instructions provides the acceptance and rejection criteria for each of the 90+ processes used in fabricating your circuit board. In addition, there are “first article” requirements for a number of steps throughout the manufacturing process.
    2. Customer specifications and drawings accompany each order as part of the traveler that accompanies all orders (small-quantity or production PCBs).
    3. IPC Class 2 provides the default in the event that you do not assign a particular requirement.
    4. The final step prior to shipping our boards is a well-defined final inspection. Each of our orders goes through a C=0 random sampling for determining that the holes and dimensions for each part number are within tolerance.
    5. After the order has passed the dimensional check, it is scheduled for an electrical test if you have requested it.
    6. The last step for each order is a 100% visual inspection. Each part is checked for workmanship, quality, cleanliness, and a number of other attributes before the boards are packaged for shipping.
    7. There are other inspection points required throughout the process that we use to verify the acceptability of the panels.

    We work hard to make it right the first time. Here are descriptions of some of our inspections:

    • All inner-layer cores pass through automated optical inspection prior to being laminated into a multi-layer board. We use cross-section analysis to verify plating thickness on the surfaces as well as in the hole walls.
    • Weight-gain coupons; backlight inspections; visual and magnified inspections of trace width and spacing; drill, image, and mask registration; and tooling checks are done on an order-by-order basis.

    Certifications

    We work diligently to maintain an environment of continuous improvement and quality. This philosophy allows us to meet or exceed the standards established by independent organizations, including the ISO, UL, and IPC. Our registration numbers and specific certifications are listed below:
