Ensure Quality and Standards
Compliance with Laboratory Testing

We have a dedicated team that manages our in-house PCB test lab to check the PCBs from our partner factories on a daily basis. This ultra-modern lab allows us to check the circuit boards of our partner suppliers’ production lines and to carry out an in-depth analysis of faulty circuits returned by our customers.

Customer Benefits

Our fully equipped laboratories in France, China, and the USA offer a complete range of testing services for both bare and assembled printed circuit boards, engineering, and reworks. Our in-house labs inspect the boards we procure to guarantee an exact match with the design file while offering standalone services to detect a wide range of manufacturing defects. Our laboratory reports are not just an exercise in metrics, but actually provide an “approval for use” report with the results.
