In today’s globalized electronics market, ensuring PCB quality and compliance with international standards is not just a competitive advantage, it’s a necessity.
Nufesa-Labs offers advanced technical support to PCB manufacturers, helping them meet regulatory expectations without sacrificing cost efficiency or process control.
Key standards and regulations for PCB manufacturers
Depending on application and market, PCB manufacturers may need to comply with:
- IPC Standards (IPC‑A‑600 / IPC‑A‑610): visual and functional acceptance criteria for boards and assemblies.
- ISO 9001: quality management system standards.
- RoHS / REACH: restrictions on hazardous substances.
- UL standards: electrical safety and flammability requirements.
Meeting these standards requires lab testing, documentation, traceability, and audit-ready reporting.
Benefits of outsourcing testing to a specialized lab
Partnering with an external lab like NUFESA LABS offers multiple advantages:
- Cost savings: Avoid capital expenses on high-end equipment and specialized staffing; pay only for what you need.
- Access to advanced technology: Gain access to AOI, X‑ray (AXI), functional testing, surface contamination/SIR analysis, often unavailable in-house.
- Objective, standard-based evaluation: Receive unbiased, regulation-aligned assessment.
- Scalability and agility: Scale testing capabilities for prototypes or mass production as needed.
- Expert advisory: Benefit from expert interpretation of standards and guidance for process optimization.
