Quality Assurance & Certifications

Full-Process Four-Level Quality Control System

1. IQC (Incoming Quality Control): All incoming aluminum alloy raw materials must undergo spectral material composition inspection, mechanical property testing, thickness tolerance inspection, and surface quality inspection to prevent unqualified raw materials from entering production, and ensure 100% compliance of all raw materials with aviation-grade material standards.

2. IPQC (In-Process Quality Control): Mass production may only commence after the first article of each process has passed full dimensional inspection and validation. During mass production, QC engineers conduct hourly patrol inspections of the product's cutting accuracy, bending radian, and surface finishing quality, to promptly identify and resolve quality fluctuation issues in the manufacturing process, and prevent the transfer of process deviations.

3. FQC (Final Quality Control): Upon completion of production, 100% full inspection is carried out on the critical dimensions, hole position accuracy, surface quality, and appearance effect of every finished product, to completely eliminate non-conforming products.

4. OQC (Outgoing Quality Control): Prior to shipment, a final inspection covering the full performance, packaging, and quantity of the products is conducted in strict accordance with customer drawing specifications, AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) international sampling standards, and international diving equipment safety standards. Products are only released for shipment after passing the inspection, to ensure 100% compliance of delivered products with customer requirements and safety standards.
