Quality & Certifications

Certified quality at every stage of contract electronics manufacturing

Nordes EMS builds customer trust on a foundation of proven, international quality-management standards. Our management systems are implemented in accordance with four ISO standards and the IPC-A-610 standard — the global benchmark for the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry.

Every stage of electronics production — from incoming component inspection (IQC), through SMT and THT assembly, AOI and X-ray inspection, to functional testing (FCT) and shipment — is covered by strict quality control. Continuous process improvement allows us to meet the demanding requirements of the medical, automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors.
