Quality Assurance


The Initial procedure to guarantee quality

By only dealing with internally approved vendors and by buying directly from manufacturers or their authorized vendors, we are able to guarantee top quality components. All of our suppliers performance is continually being screened .

Our quality control commences the moment the components arrive on site; with verification of part numbers, labels, manufacturer, condition of packaging and accuracy of date codes . All accompanying documentaion is then saved for any future reference. Our experienced staff who have been trained in the field ofcounterfeit detection will then thoroughly examine the components for damage and authenticity. If further investigation is required we will conduct in-house testing.

The same quality assurance procedures are followed when we ship to you our customer.You will be provided with a certificate of conformity detailing that the components are new and unused, that they are authentic and you can view the history of your component – country of origin and date code.
