There are many International Standards, IEC International Standards in particular, which address safety requirements, including interoperability. Then there are approval and certification schemes that aim to provide assurance that these requirements are met. However, manufacturers of components and assemblies need to address issues that are much broader than those covered by todays International Standards when controlling their supply chain manufacturing processes.
20
IECQ, the IEC Quality Assessment System for Electronic Components, has the solution that gives manufacturers, suppliers and buyers the confidence that the products they sell or purchase have been independently verified and meet all requirements and specifications.
21
The IECQ AC (Approved Component) Scheme has proved to be a valuable qualification and supply chain management tool that provides for the identification and verification of compliance with component and process specifications.
22
Components and systems covered by an IECQ Approval Certificate provide the assurance that: - safety and interoperability Standards
and industry specifications are met - specific performance criteria associated
with the component are met - environmental criteria are met - material and component traceability are
met
23
They ensure that: - manufacturing and process controls are
in place - material and supply chain controls are
in place - Initial qualification of designs and
design change control are in place - production samples are constantly
being checked and tested
24
The IECQ AC Scheme provides a “standardized way” of evaluating suppliers and is used as a powerful supply-chain management tool when assessing and monitoring the various tier-level suppliers. This removes the cost burden of monitoring and controlling the supply chain, from the OEMs (original equipment manufacturer) to their suppliers, while also protecting the OEM brand name in the market. This also helps prevent poor-quality systems from entering the market.
25
For component and module suppliers, the benefit is the on-going assessment/evaluation conducted by a single organization – IECQ – as opposed to multiple second-party assessments and criteria made by each of their OEM customers. A structured approach to the supply chain management such as IECQ also brings with it inherent efficiencies and cost savings by reducing non complying items, eliminating discarded items and wasteful scrapping during production.
26
Purchasing Components from companies whose suppliers are covered by IECQ certification gives consumers the assurance of their reliability, safety and cost-efficiency while also strengthening their confidence in this new and exciting technology.
27
With the ever-increasing use of IECQ certification among the electronic component and assembly supply chain, there is no need for governments and regulators to introduce complex and costly regulatory approval regimes at the country level, rather they can work in harmony with IECQ at an International level.
Utilizes existing IEC Standards and Specifications and where they do not exist may use International or National Standards and Specifications
IECQ Component
Specifications
Where requirements do not exist they shall be included as part of the Specification
Sections of an IECQ Specification
Section one – General information Section two – Quality conformance test schedule Section three – Test method
28
Utilizes existing or new IECQ General, Sectional, Detailed Specifications where possible
• Qualification Approval - Companies have an IECQ Certified System for the evaluation of
completed components
• Capability Approval - Companies have an IECQ Certified System covering the
manufacturing process of Specified components to provide confidence that each of the mass produced items will comply with the declared Standards and Specifications
29
• Traditionally Approach – Specifications developed by IEC TCs – Qualification and Reliability to Generic, Sectional, Detailed or other IEC etc. “Long Process”
• New Approach – IECQ has the ability to rapidly develop industry base Specifications to which Conformity can be assessed. - QC 32100-C001 Issue 1 June 2007 – Component
