Within every corner of the globe there are industry-wide electronics compliance practices. This is crucial when choosing a facility, ensuring they are audited and an ISO certified facility in Vancouver.
Not only does this offer assurances for the services offered, but also the products.
So …What is ‘ISO Certification’?
ISO is the International Organization of Standardization. These international standards are in place to ensure customers receive electronics that meet their expectations. These certifications are managed by external certification overseers, helping to avoid any conflict of interest and ensure quality in unison.
Why are ISO Standards Important?
As a customer, choosing an ISO certified facility is important for both reliability of products as well as services. Being an audited facility means your process documents and behind-the-scene compliances are all overseen, and therefor offer a reputable standing.
As a supplier, you want to choose an audited and ISO certified facility to ensure that the businesses you align with are in constant check. That they are within the realm of continual improvement of both products and services. As well as being able to review their audits as needed. It ensures that clear guidelines are followed, and you are in business with those that reflect the same quality business practices.
