Quality & Testing

Trust is earned one lot at a time.

No part leaves RAST without passing through quarantine, inspection and documentation review. For higher-risk parts, accredited laboratory testing is part of the plan from day one.

Inspection & test methods

Six layers between a counterfeit and your board.

Performed in-house or at ISO/IEC 17025-accredited partner laboratories, following AS6171 test methods where specified.

T1

External Visual Inspection

High-magnification review of markings, leads, surface texture and packaging against manufacturer references.

T2

X-Ray Inspection

Die, lead-frame and bond-wire comparison across the lot to reveal mixed or re-marked parts.

T3

XRF Analysis

Lead finish composition testing to confirm RoHS status and detect re-tinned or refurbished leads.

T4

Decapsulation

Die exposure and verification of manufacturer logo, part identification and die revision.

T5

Electrical Testing

Curve-trace and functional or parametric testing against the datasheet at room or temperature extremes.

T6

Solderability & Marking Permanency

Resurfacing detection, heated solvent tests and solderability per J-STD-002.

Our quality system

A process designed so nothing slips through.

Our procedures follow the structure of AS6081 and ISO 9001: documented, repeatable and reviewed. Every nonconformance becomes a corrective action, and every corrective action makes the next lot safer.
