Circuit Board Testing Procedures
SMG Global believes in stringent circuit board testing procedures to ensure the highest quality PCB products for their customers. In addition to testing procedures, we are transparent with our reports and certificates, allowing our customers to see the excellent results of our strict quality assurance methods for themselves.
Circuit Board Testing Procedures That Meet ISO Certification Standards
SMG Global is proud to meet international quality standards through our ISO 9001:2015 certification. In the past, we have consistently attained the most current version of this accreditation, keeping up to date with top industry practices. The current quality certificate we hold includes acceptable criteria for IPC-A-600 Class-2 & 3, and performance specifications of IPC-6012 Class-2 & 3 UL 796, 94V-0. Both of these requirements are considered the latest revisions of current ISO accreditation standards.
IPC-356A Gerber Netlist Circuit Board Testing Standard
The IPC-356A Gerber Netlist Testing Standard is a procedure that tests circuit boards using a CAM program. This program evaluates if a printed circuit board design will be electrically functional. If, after the testing procedure, the CAM program discovers errors, the design discrepancies are located, eliminating miscalculations before they get to production.
