Quality and Compliance Standards

Compliance

FCT Solder is dedicated to maintaining the highest levels of compliance and quality assurance across every aspect of our operations. Our industry certifications validate the effectiveness of our management systems and our ongoing efforts to uphold the stringent standards set by global regulatory bodies. Each certification reinforces the trust our customers place in us, confirming that our products and processes consistently meet rigorous quality, safety, and sustainability requirements. 
 
This continuous dedication to compliance and precision exemplifies and energizes our commitment to delivering solder solutions that perform flawlessly and support long-term customer success.

Quality Where it Counts

Our teams communicate through a “cloud” based Quality Management System, allowing divisions and partners to input and update quality data efficiently. Our Enterprise Resource Planning system guarantees traceability via our proprietary software. Through our Vendor Approval Process and Change Control System, we practice strict adherence to conflict-free raw material sourcing. All our systems are NIST SP 800-171 compliant.

Quality is built into our entire process. During development, we utilize Design for Manufacturability, allowing us to optimize the process for high quality and cost-effective outcomes. We maintain scalability and uniformity for repeatable and measurable product outcomes. Our Manufacturing Equipment is statistically qualified to assure consistent capabilities, making it copy-exact for predicted outcomes.

Quality is not just a vision for us. We make it a reality by involving everyone in the concept and giving them the tools to be part of the success. Our extensive internal training has engrained quality as part of our company culture. We implement specialty training programs including problem solving, Statistical Process Control, 5S, Total Quality Management, and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification.

ISO 9001:2015

ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized family of standards for quality management systems. It is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is administered by accreditation and certification bodies. An ISO 9001:2015 certification demonstrates that FCT Solder has consistent processes that are being applied. These processes are documented extensively within the ISO 9001:2015 system of quality management, which is represented by the ISO 9001:2015 certification. This gives customers assurance of proper quality control, eliminating the need for additional audits to confirm the appropriateness of a company’s quality management system.
