QA services ease outsourcing concerns

A SGS product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jan 22, 2007

SGS can provide various solutions through quality assurance programmes for electrical and electronics OEM products.

After the Chinese Government implemented its open policy and joined the World Trade Organisation during the last century, OEMs have enjoyed years of fruitful profit margins from low cost and high quality production in China.

Nowadays OEMs need to face various negative factors impacting their production plans, such as: new antipollution laws, shortages in supplies and manpower and the doubling of raw material prices.

Considering all the difficulties mentioned, manufacturers will have to find new ways of keeping costs to a minimum.

This could mean using second class parts and components during mass production, after obtaining a proper certification or use materials without RoHS certification, and maybe skip some production process.

All these measures will inevitably have serious negative effects on a brand's reputation.

Already some famous OEM brands of electronic goods have to recall products from the market due to quality and safety problems.

Focusing on the quality control services that are currently needed, SGS can provide various solutions through quality assurance programmes for electrical and electronics OEM products.

Tailor made QA service packages include lab testing of samples, verification in the production line, inline control, quality improvement programmes, RoHS testing and on-site green audits.

The services SGS offers cover all production and distribution stages of electrical and electronics OEM products.
